All areas of possible lead exposure must be monitored for a full shift to determine air lead levels. This measurement is done with a representative number of employees who probably have the highest risk of being exposed to lead.
Measurement is done using personal air samplers.
The results of the initial air monitoring will determine what safety measures must be taken. Refer to the Standard that applies to your company for additional information. Notify employees of risks Before assigning an employee to a job that will expose him or her to lead, you must notify that employee of the risk of lead exposure. Employees should also be advised that lead particles can get into the air or onto their clothes or body. Employees can inadvertently expose their family to take home lead.
