伊丽莎白·沃伦等议员与工会及行业专家一道，警告不要削弱相关法规。参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦、众议员伊尔汗·奥马尔及其他几位民主党议员呼吁职业安全与健康管理局（Osha）放弃撤销呼吸器口罩法规的计划，议员们称这一改动将削弱对工人免受有害物质侵害的保护。
Elizabeth Warren and others joined by unions and industry experts in warning against the weakening of regulations The senator Elizabeth Warren, the congresswoman Ilhan Omar and several other Democratic lawmakers are calling on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Osha) to abandon a rollback of respirator mask regulations, a change the lawmakers say would weaken worker protections against hazardous substances.
议员们在致Osha助理部长戴维·基林的信中写道，根据拟议规则，雇主在工人接触“铅、石棉、甲醛和无机砷等化学品”时提供呼吸器口罩的要求将会减少。基林曾是UPS和亚马逊的高管。
Under the proposed rules, employers would face fewer requirements to provide workers with respirators masks when working with substances including “lead, asbestos, formaldehyde and inorganic arsenic, among other chemicals”, the lawmakers wrote in a letter to the Osha assistant secretary, David Keeling, a former UPS and Amazon executive.
