IWASHINGTON. I-Dichloromethane ibeka umngcipheko "ongenangqiqo" kubasebenzi phantsi kweemeko ezithile, kwaye i-EPA iya kuthatha inyathelo "lokuchonga nokusebenzisa amanyathelo olawulo."
Kwisaziso seRejista yeSizwe, i-Arhente yoKhuseleko lweNdalo iqaphele ukuba i-dichloromethane, ikhemikhali egqityiweyo ethi i-NIOSH ibulale abalungisi beebhafu abaninzi, iyingozi kuluntu kwiimeko ezingama-52 kwezingama-53 zokusetyenziswa. Idala umngcipheko ongafanelekanga wokwenzakala, kuquka:
I-Dichloromethane yenye yeekhemikhali zokuqala ezili-10 eziza kuvavanywa ukuba zinobungozi obunokubakho kwimpilo nakwindalo phantsi koMthetho woKhuseleko lweeKhemikhali kaFrank R. Lautenberg wenkulungwane yama-21. Ukugqitywa komngcipheko kulandela uyilo oluhlaziyiweyo lovavanyo lokugqibela lomngcipheko olupapashwe kwiRejista yeFederal ngoJulayi 5, ngokuhambelana nesibhengezo se-EPA sikaJuni 2021 sokutshintsha iinkalo ezithile zenkqubo yoMthetho kaLautenberg ukuqinisekisa ukuba "uluntu lukhuselekile kwingozi engafanelekanga." » kwiingozi ezivela kwiikhemikhali ngendlela yesayensi nesemthethweni.
Amanyathelo afanelekileyo aquka ukusebenzisa indlela "yokusebenzisa yonke into" ukuchonga umngcipheko ongafanelekanga endaweni yokusebenzisa ngokweemeko zomntu ngamnye, kunye nokuphinda kujongwe ukuba abasebenzi bahlala benikwa kwaye benxiba iiPPE ngokuchanekileyo xa bechonga umngcipheko.
I-EPA ithi nangona ukhuseleko kwindawo yokusebenza “lusenokuba lukhona”, ayithethi ukuba ukusetyenziswa kwe-PPE kugubungela ingcamango ye-arhente yokuba amaqela ahlukeneyo abasebenzi anokuba semngciphekweni wokuvezwa ngokukhawuleza kwi-methylene chloride xa:
Iindlela ezinokubakho zokulawula ezisetyenziswa yile arhente ziquka “izithintelo okanye iimfuno ezithintela ukwenziwa, ukucutshungulwa, ukusasazwa kwezorhwebo, ukusetyenziswa kwezorhwebo, okanye ukulahlwa kwekhemikhali, njengoko kufanelekile.”
I-Safety+Health iyazamkela izimvo kwaye ikhuthaza incoko enentlonelo. Nceda uhlale ugxile kwisihloko. Izimvo eziqulethe uhlaselo lomntu, intetho engcolileyo okanye ulwimi oluhlaselayo, okanye ezo zikhuthaza imveliso okanye inkonzo ngenkuthalo, ziya kususwa. Sigcina ilungelo lokumisela ukuba zeziphi izimvo eziphula uMgaqo-nkqubo wethu wezimvo. (Izimvo ezingaziwayo zamkelekile; susa nje intsimi ethi “Igama” kwicandelo lezimvo. Idilesi ye-imeyile iyafuneka, kodwa ayizukufakwa kwingxelo yakho.)
Thatha uvavanyo ngale ngxaki uze ufumane amanqaku okuqinisekiswa kwakhona kwiBhodi yeeNgcali zoKhuseleko eziQinisekisiweyo.
Imagazini i-Safety+Health, epapashwe yiNational Safety Council, inika ababhalisile abangaphezu kwama-91,000 iindaba ezipheleleyo zokhuseleko lwesizwe kunye neendlela ezisetyenziswa kushishino.
Gcina ubomi emsebenzini naphi na. IBhunga lezoKhuseleko lweSizwe lilungu eliphambili lokhuseleko elingenzi nzuzo kweli lizwe. Sigxile ekusombululeni izizathu ezibangela ukwenzakala nokufa okunokuthintelwa.
