These releases may cause contamination of soils, groundwater, surface water, and air."

Indoor Air Quality (RIN 1218-AB37)

Injury and Illness Prevention (Safety and Health Programs) (RIN 1218-AB41)
This rule was initiated to address the high rate of occupational injuries, illnesses and fatalities. An average of 16 workers were killed each day in 1999, in addition to 137 deaths a day attributed to job-related chronic illnesses.
PELs for Air Contaminants (RIN 1218-AB54)
Existing air contaminant limits were adopted in 1971. This rule was to have updated permissible exposure limits (PELs) for toxic air contaminants found in U.S. workplaces.
Safety and Health Programs for Construction (RIN 1218-AB69)
This rule was to update and revise safety and health program standards for the construction industry.
Control of Hazardous Energy in Construction (RIN 1218-AB71)
This rule would have extended (and modified) lockout/tagout procedures for control of energy hazards, applied to general industry since 1989, to the construction industry.
