Silica Decision

US Court of Appeals (6th circuit) decision. Ohio Cast Products v. OSHA. In a published decision, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit has affirmed a decision of the (federal) OSH Review Commission, concluding: (1) that the Secretary's method of calculating workplace exposure to silica under ยง1910.1000(c), Table Z-3, derives from a reasonable interpretation of that regulation; and (2) that the employer had fair notice of the Secretary's methodology for determining such exposure exceeds the PEL.
