Comments Come in on OSHA's Silica-Exposure Rule

Since 1968, lung diseases related to silica-dust exposure have fallen by 90%, causing some to question why the rule comes now. Others say costs to implement engineered solutions are "grossly underestimated." OSHA could take two years to make its final decision on the measure, according to this article.
