Lead Exposure
Reference: B-4
Full shift personal samples must be representative of the monitored worker's regular, daily exposure to lead.
If the initial determination or subsequent air monitoring reveals worker exposure to be at or above the action
level but below the permissible exposure limit The Company shall repeat air monitoring at least every 6 months.
The Company shall continue air monitoring at the required frequency until at least two consecutive
measurements, taken at least 7 days apart, are below the action level at which time The Company may
discontinue monitoring for that worker.
Monitoring Frequency
At or Above Action Level and Below PEL
Every 6 months if the initial determination or subsequent monitoring reveals worker exposure to be at or above
the action level but below the permissible exposure limit. This monitoring (6-month frequency) will continue
until at least two consecutive measurements, taken
at least 7 days apart, are below the action level. Initial monitoring is above the OSHA action level
Above PEL
If the initial monitoring reveals that worker exposure is above the permissible exposure limit the company will
repeat monitoring quarterly. Quarterly monitoring will continue until at least two consecutive measurements,
taken at least 7 days apart, are below the PEL but at or above the action level.
Upon achieving such control, the company may cease the 6-month monitoring for the affected workers.
Additional Monitoring
Whenever there has been a production, process, control, or personnel change which may result in new or
additional exposure to lead, or whenever any other reason to suspect a change which may result in new or
additional exposures to lead, additional monitoring will be conducted.
Worker Notifications of Monitoring Results
Affected workers shall be notified of the results of any monitoring performed within 15 working days, either
individually in writing or by posting the results in an appropriate location that is accessible to affected workers.
Whenever the results indicate that the representative worker exposure, without regard to respirators, exceeds
the permissible exposure limit, in the written notice shall be included a statement that the permissible exposure
limit was exceeded, and a description of the corrective action taken or to be taken to reduce exposure to or
below the permissible exposure limit.
