OSHA Keeps Cotton Dust Exemption for knitting mills
The federal OSHA will continue the exemption from stricter cotton dust standards for up to 44 South Carolina knitting mills. The move, based on UNC research funded by the textile industry, drew fire from the South Carolina Brown Lung Association but was praised by the state Textile Manufacturers Institute. The agency says the current pre 1978 limits remain in effect while it reviews future standards.
