We continue failing to regulate neurotoxicants in the workplace. Just another poignant story (with video) in a long sequence of disasters easily prevented by legislative intervention and regulatory intervention. The casualties wind up on disability and Medicaid and suffer needlessly everyday.
these are typically silent issues that escape attention and hence don't get the legislative attention necessary to "do the right thing". Meanwhile, this chemical joins hexane, mibk, lucel7.. A long list of tragedies easily prevented by testing programs, regulatory processes, and industrial hygiene
From The New York Times:
As OSHA Emphasizes Safety, Long-Term Health Risks Fester
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the agency that many Americans love to hate and industry calls overzealous, has largely ignored the slow, silent killers that claim the most lives.
