According to an EPA press release, the agencies have previously collaborated on workplace exposures to EPA s review of new chemicals, as required under TSCA.
EPA states the MOU will advance that partnership and “help achieve the agencies shared goal of ensuring workers are protected from potential health and environmental risks” through measures including:
Establishing designated staff and management points of contact from EPA and OSHA to discuss and resolve workplace exposure issues related to EPA s review of new chemicals.
Providing to OSHA regular updates on EPA s new chemical determinations, including any necessary worker protections.
Documenting EPA s role in identifying and informing OSHA of requisite formal consultation concerning EPA s review of new chemicals.
