U.S. Chamber files amicus brief in OSHA egress regulations case
January 17, 2008
NCLC urged the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission to overturn an Administrative Law Judge’s interpretation of egress regulations. In its brief, NCLC illustrated that the decision holds that nothing can be put in an aisle, passageway, or work area—even temporarily or for the briefest period of time—that diminishes the area around an employee to less than 28 inches. NCLC argued this absolute prohibition is impractical for business and does not consider workplace realities.
