it's like banging my head against a wall...
is this crap you've invented - or did a POLITICIAN feed it to you?
"compare the typical amount of smoke in a bar with OSHA
requirements..."
OSHA = Occupational Safety & Health Administrations
= WORK HEALTH CODE
and NOT ALL offices are public, mine wasn't
&WTF were small businesses REQUIRED to spend (taxable) $100,000s on
smoke eaters right before the ban????
Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS)
Because the organic material in tobacco doesn't burn completely,
cigarette smoke contains more than 4,700 chemical compounds. Although
OSHA has no regulation that addresses tobacco smoke as a whole, 29 CFR
1910.1000 Air contaminants, limits employee exposure to several of the
main chemical components found in tobacco smoke. In normal situations,
exposures would not exceed these permissible exposure limits (PELs),
and, as a matter of prosecutorial discretion, OSHA will not apply the
General Duty Clause to ETS.
For further information to offer to employers/employees as guidance,
you may wish to review a document published by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) about the health effects from environmental
tobacco smoke, A Fact Sheet: Respiratory Health Effects of Passive
Smoking. Additional information on indoor air quality in general can
be found on the Indoor Air Quality Technical Links page on the OSHA
website.
We hope you find this information helpful. If you have any questions,
please feel free to contact the Office of Health Enforcement at (202)
693-2190
now call them and ASK WHY OSHA HAS "NO REGULATION THAT ADDRESSES
TOBACCO"
ASK FOR A SCIENTIFIC REPORT THAT PROVES SMOKING CAUSES CANCER
