In early 2024, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) proposed significant updates to enhance product safety, including mandatory electronic filing of Certificates of Compliance for all imported CPSC-regulated products, broadening the definition of "importer" to include a wider range of stakeholders, and introducing detailed requirements for certificate content alongside a new five-year record retention period. Aimed at ensuring products entering the U.S. market meet safety standards, these changes emphasize accountability across the supply chain and enhance the CPSC's ability to monitor compliance. To navigate these complex regulations, Materials Analytical Services (MAS), a premier U.S.-based analytical and technical assistance laboratory, offers its expertise in product testing and compliance, providing essential support to companies aiming to meet these rigorous safety standards and protect consumer well-being.
Crystalline silica, a natural substance found in various construction materials, poses significant health risks due to its respirability. To mitigate these risks, OSHA has implemented regulations that lower the permissible exposure limit (PEL) for respirable crystalline silica to 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air, averaged over an 8-hour workday. Employers are required to adopt engineering controls, provide respirators, restrict access to high exposure areas, create an exposure control plan, offer medical exams to at-risk workers, and conduct training on silica hazards and exposure prevention. These standards, effective June 23, 2016, aim to protect workers from silicosis, a deadly lung disease caused by inhaling silica dust. Protective measures include using N95 NIOSH-certified respirators or type CE abrasive-blast supplied-air respirators. Michael Mangum of the National Asphalt Pavement Association underscores the importance of safeguarding workers to ensure company well-being.
