CLICK HERE for the Worksafe list of 40 chemicals NOT REGULATED by Cal/OSHA to a degree that would protect against cancer and/or reproductive and developmental toxicity.  OEHHA has prepared quantitative risk assessments for these (36 are for carcinogens (some of these also cause other harm) and 4 are for chemicals that cause only reproductive or developmental harm).  Of the 40, 9 of these are completely UNREGULATED - workers receive NO PROTECTION AT ALL. 

CLICK HERE to jump to information about the Cal/OSHA regulatory advisory committee - the "5155" committee - that makes recommendations to the Division (and the Division then may forward those or other recommendations to the OSH Standards Board for their consideration) regarding permissible exposure limits (PELs).

Click here for the list that Worksafe is proposing to be covered by the 5155 committee.
Click here for the list that HESIS is proposing to be covered by the 5155 committee (18 PELs) pursuant to Labor Code 147.2 (3)
Click here for the report prepared by OEHHA on contract with HESIS that likely provided the basis for the HESIS proposal and which would be the list that AB 515 is proposing to be the priorities for the OSH Standards Board.
