			 ceiling values. An employee's exposure to any substance in Oregon Table Z-1,
			 the exposure limit of which is not preceded by a "C", must at no time exceed
			 the ceiling exposure limit given for that substance. If instantaneous
			 monitoring is not feasible, then assess the ceiling as a 15-minute
			 time-weighted average. This exposure level must never be exceeded at any time
			 during the workday.
(b) Other
			 substances - 8-hour time-weighted averages (PEL-TWA). An employee's exposure to
			 any substance in Oregon Table Z-1, the exposure limit of which is not preceded
			 by a "C", must not exceed the 8-hour Time-Weighted Average for that substance
			 in any 8-hour shift of a 40-hour work week.
(c) Other substances - Excursion Limits.
			 Excursions in exposure levels may be more than three times the PEL-TWA number
			 for no more than a total of 30 minutes during a workday, and must never be more
			 than five times the PEL-TWA, provided that the overall 8-hour PEL-TWA is not
			 exceeded.
(d) Skin designation. To
			 prevent or reduce skin absorption, you must prevent or reduce an employee's
			 skin exposure to substances listed in Oregon Table Z-1 with an "X" in the Skin
			 designation column following the substance name. Prevent or reduce exposure to
			 the extent necessary in the cirumstances through the use of gloves, coveralls,
			 goggles, or other appropriate personal protective equipment, engineering
			 controls or work practices.
