Our team is experienced in handling asbestos fibers and managing occupational exposure risks. We collaborate closely with health and human services to ensure your workplace satisfies all safety regulations.

Expert OSHA and EPA Compliance with MSE Environmental

Why does OSHA & EPA have Compliance?

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) sets rules regarding workplace safety which are designed to help companies learn and implement what must be done to provide a safe and secure workplace for the employed environment. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) protects human health and the overall environment. Both OSHA & EPA maintain compliance officers that enforce the laws and regulations set by the United States Congress. Many companies are not aware of the laws and regulations involving environmental hazard safety. MSE Environmental provides compliance solutions with experience and know-how to protect many companies from falling out of compliance in their daily business activities.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

Formed in 1971 by congress, OSHA or Occupational Safety and Health Administration is a federal agency under the Department of Labor that is responsible for protecting workers’ health and safety in the United States. OSHA plays an important role for workers because it ensures and provides workers with a safe environment, inspects and enforces safety standards, reduces worker fatalities, and enforces workers’ rights.

Who is covered by OSHA:

  • Private Sector Workers

  • Federal Government Workers

Why OSHA Asbestos Compliance Matters

Brief Overview of OSHA Asbestos Regulations

OSHA asbestos regulations are designed to protect workers from the dangers of asbestos exposure. The standard, outlined in standard 29 CFR, sets permissible exposure limits to control asbestos exposure in the workplace. These regulations require employers to implement work practices that minimize the risk of exposure to asbestos fibers. Compliance with OSHA asbestos standards ensures a safe and healthy work environment.

  • Consequences of Non-Compliance

OSHA asbestos violations can lead to serious respiratory illnesses and other employee health hazards. Non-compliance with these standards can also lead to severe legal penalties and damage a company’s reputation. Proper management and handling of asbestos-containing material are crucial to preventing health hazards in the general industry. Adhering to these regulations protects workers and ensures businesses operate within the OSHA’s legal framework.
