12. In 1970, Congress enacted the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act), 84 Stat. 1590 (codified at 29 USC 553, 651–678, 2002). It specifically authorized the secretary of labor to promulgate national health and safety standards. 29 USC 655(a). Occupational Safety and Health Standards 29 CFR ‘1910.120 (q) (1998) covers employees who are engaged in emergency response to hazardous substance releases no matter where it occurs except that employees engaged in operations specified in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) through (a)(1)(iv) of this section are not covered; nor are emergency response organizations that have developed and implemented programs equivalent to this paragraph for handling releases of hazardous substances pursuant to Section 303 of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 40 CFR ‘372.18 (1995) deals with the enforcement and compliance guidelines for reporting toxic chemical release and the community’s right to know.

Deutsch, ‘‘Stringent Measures Gather Dust, Experts Say,’’ New York Times (16 August 2004): B-1. ‘‘Without question, many companies after 9/11 took serious steps, some quite ambitious and costly, to protect their employees and their assets. Gregg A. Popkin, senior managing director of CB Richard Ellis Inc., which manages about 115 commercial buildings in the metropolitan area, says landlords in those buildings have spent a combined $50 million on scanners, turnstiles and other measures in the past three years. . . . But there is much that has not changed all that dramatically. Plans that were drawn up were shelved, security machines put in place have been taken out, and computer security remains far from perfect.’’
