AFS to Study Feasibility of Lower Crystalline Silica PEL.In anticipation of OSHA's comprehensive Crystalline Like a crystal. It implies a uniform structure of molecules in all dimensions. For example, phase change technology, widely used for rewritable optical discs, uses crystalline spots (bits) to reflect the laser beam. Amorphous, non-crystalline bits do not reflect light. Silica Standard scheduled to be published as a proposed rule late next year, AFS A distributed file system for large, widely dispersed Unix and Windows networks from Transarc Corporation, now part of IBM. It is noted for its ease of administration and expandability and stems from Carnegie-Mellon's Andrew File System. AFS - Andrew File System is developing information relating to relating to relate prep → concernant relating to relate prep → bezüglich +gen, mit Bezug auf +acc the technological and economic impact of a lower permissible exposure level (PEL) for crystalline silica on foundries. OSHA OSHA n. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, a branch of the US Department of Labor responsible for establishing and enforcing safety and health standards in the workplace. officials are considering cutting the current standard for crystalline silica from 0.10mg/cu m to 0.05 mg/cu m. The study is part of the AFS Silica Alliance's efforts, which was formed earlier this year to advance the interests of the foundry industry in OSHA's rulemaking proceedings. |
