Acta affiliate B&C Quoted in Chemical Watch Article “Plan to exclude PPE from TSCA risk evaluations sparks industry outcry”

On March 14, 2022, The Acta Group (Acta^®) affiliate Bergeson & Campbell, P.C. (B&C^®) was quoted by Chemical Watch on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) decision to no longer consider personal protective equipment (PPE) use in Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) risk evaluations. 

Law firm Bergeson & Campbell said assuming PPE will not be used, including in cases where required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Osha), “is not based on reasonably available information, impermissibly assumes intentional misuse and considers hypothetical conditions of use”.
