These regulations, which were developed in response to previous deadly incidents, require operators to limit dust accumulations to 1/8th of an inch. Despite opposition from industry groups, the rules are expected to save lives and prevent injuries. Labor unions criticize the regulations for being politically motivated and doubt their effectiveness.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
