And today's podcast, I'm gonna continue the Occupational Medicine Board Review Series. So the first one that I made a few days back, um, focused on the OSHA Lead Standard.

The thing is, there's just not one OSHA asbestos standard. There's actually two, right? So we have, uh, 29 Code of Federal Regulations, uh, 1910.1001,
