Aerosol Tranmissable Diseases Standard (ATD's)

During the presentation at RENO 2012 by Michael Schedler of Morris & Garritano on Cal/OSHA compliance the question was raised regarding ATD's.  This is a relatively new standard set forth by Cal/OSHA and two different owners of RCFEs who were in attendance shared briefly that they were fined for not having a plan to prevent ATD's.  As I promised I am sharing a paper with regard of the application of this standard.  Please download a copy from the link below.
