ATMI Critical Of Suggested Rules Against Heat Illness.

The article reports that the American Textile Manufacturers Institute (ATMI) has protested against federal regulations governing the temperature of work environments for industrial employees. ATMI says that information available on heat stress problems of all industrial employees suggests that heat illness is so rare it does not constitute an industrial health problem. ATMI also argues that the studies on which the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has based its proposed standard are not relevant to actual industrial conditions.
