The Department of Labor's May 1969 rule adopting revised safety and health standards for federal supply contracts under the Walsh-Healey Public Contracts Act (41 CFR Part 50-204), as published in the Federal Register. It adopts, with listed changes, the revision first published on January 17, 1969, effective May 17, 1969. Besides general safety, machine guarding, occupational noise and radiation standards, Subpart D sets limits for gases, vapors, fumes, dusts and mists; its mineral-dust table sets asbestos at 12 fibers per milliliter. These were the exposure limits federal contractors had to meet before OSHA, and OSHA adopted the Walsh-Healey limits as its first standards in 1971.
