Nonprofit organization Public Citizen sent a letter to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to improve workplace productivity by requiring coal slag abrasive manufacturers to disclose additional information about their products. The letter emphasized companies should explain their product contains lethal amounts of beryllium, which can be dangerous to employees and the general public.

Coal slag abrasive remains a useful tool companies use to prepare for painting metal structures such as bridges. However, exposure to beryllium can lead to lung cancer and other health issues. Public Citizen, a nonprofit organization that challenges American industries' abusive practices, requested OSHA enforce its right-to-know rules to require manufactures to disclose the chemicals in their products.

In doing so, companies can maintain productivity in the workplace. Public Citizen worker and health and safety advocate Justin Feldman noted workers have the right to know the health risks involved in being exposed to toxic chemicals.

Safety managers can eliminate health and safety risks in the workplace with online software. Web-based injury prevention tools offer supervisors the opportunity to evaluate and assess guidelines to manage workers' safety. Solutions like these are designed to help companies implement safety standards across any worldwide organization.
