Public health experts, scientists, and other officials are seeking more time to stop the Bush Administration's rush to pass a workplace safety law that could endanger workers exposed to dangerous chemicals and toxins. In their letter to the department of labor, the group of experts states that the administration shortened the comment period normally given to proposed legislation that would greatly affect safety standards in the workplace. The group, consisting of 39 representatives from Duke University Medical Center, Boston University School of public health, Sciencecorps, and the Appalachian Center for the Economy and Environment, asked for 60 additional days to submit comments and expert testimony on the rule, which would change the way risks are calculated involving working with dangerous chemicals. Legislation H.R. 6660 is pending in the House that would prohibit the Department of Labor from passing the so-called “Secret Rule Act of 2008.”
