Ag groups oppose OSHA anhydrous facility changes
A memorandum from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration regarding anhydrous ammonia retail facilities has some agriculture groups concerned that a new definition of such facilities could ultimately impact anhydrous supply and availability to farmers.
The letter comes as the House Committee on Education and the Workforce subcommittee on Workforce Protection will discuss the issue during a hearing on Wednesday at 1 p.m.
Groups say new regulations for anhydrous facilities put unnecessary burden on businesses during busy season
The memo, issued in July, revokes a definition of what constitutes a retail facility under the Process Safety Management program.
