1.Do you think that OSHA should expand the current Table 1 to include additional engineering or work practice controls for existing equipment/tasks on the table (i.e. dust control systems in addition to integrated water delivery systems and vice versa)?(Required.)
2.Do you think that OSHA should expand the current Table 1 to include additional equipment/tasks and associated engineering and work practice controls that are not currently listed (i.e. belt sanders equipped with dust controls systems, power paint scrapers equipped with dust collections systems, etc.)?(Required.)
