There are currently no specific OSHA standards for anthrax. However, multiple OSHA standards address protective measures for workers with potential anthrax exposure. These include:
- Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) standard (29 CFR 1910.120).
- Respiratory Protection standard (29 CFR 1910.134).
- Hazard Communication standard (29 CFR 1910.1200).
- Occupational Exposure to Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories standard (29 CFR 1910.1450).
- 40 CFR Part 311, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standard applying to state and local government workers in states where there is no OSHA-approved State Plan.
