Osha`s 1984 ethylene oxide standard. Retrospective evaluation of the rulemaking`s feasibility/impact estimates. Case study
Abstract
This report documents a case study of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration`s (OSHA) permanent health standard of 1984 for workplace exposures to ethylene oxide. OSHA`s assessment of hazard control options and estimates of compliance costs and other regulatory impacts prepared as part of the rationale for the rulemaking are reviewed and then compared and contrasted with the actual post-promulgation outcomes as the hospital sector adjusted to the new compliance requirements. This case study has been prepared as part of a larger Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) evaluation of the control technology and regulatory impact analyses that OSHA prepares to support its rulemakings. Congress requested in May 1992 that OTA examine OSHA`s procedures and methods in these regards. The case reported here is one of eight OSHA health and safety standards that have been similarly studied on a pre- and post-promulgation basis.
