This paper takes a look at emerging environmental, health and safety issues that may impact painting contactors and facility owners. Specific topics include OSHA’s hexavalent chromium standard, recent rulings related to multi-employer worksite policy and OSHA’s use of threshold limit values (TLVs®). The expected final rule on employer-paid personal protective equipment (PPE), the proposed confined space entry standard for construction, the proposed revisions to the hazard communication standard, and the American National Standards Institute standard on Hearing Loss Prevention in Construction are described. EPA’s review of the NAAQS for lead and the potential implications of PM2.5 standard enforcement are reviewed. Additionally, recently enacted New York City regulations regarding scaffolding, noise mitigation, and emission control from construction vehicles are discussed. Much of the information is taken directly from the respective agency’s published regulatory agenda, supplemented by anecdotal information gathered from various professional journals, seminars and conferences.
