with occupational exposure to ethylene

oxide.

The Standard requires employers to

monitor employee exposure to ethylene

oxide (EtO) and provide notification to

employees of their exposure to ethylene

oxide. If monitoring indicates exposure

above the 8-hour time weight average of

one part EtO per million parts of air, or

in excess of five parts of EtO per million

part of air as average over sampling

period of 15 minutes, then the employer

is required to develop a compliance

plan to reduce the exposures above

these levels. Employers are required to

make available medical exams to

employees who are or may be exposed

to EtO at or above the action level (.5

parts per million calculated as an eight

hour time-weight average), without

regard to the use of respirators, for at

least 30 days a year. Exposure

monitoring and medical records are to

be retained for prescribed amounts of

time, and under certain circumstances

such records may be transferred to the

National Institute for Occupational

Safety and Health. Employers are also

required to communicate the hazards

associated with exposure to EtO through

signs, labels, material safety data sheets

and training.

II. Current Actions

Oxide Standard. Extension is necessary
