Permissible exposure limit.
(1) You must ensure that no employee is
				exposed to lead at concentrations greater than 50 micrograms per cubic meter of
				air (50 [MICRO]g/m3) averaged over an 8-hour
				period.
(2) If an employee is
				exposed to lead for more than 8 hours in any work day the employees' allowable
				exposure, as a time weighted average (TWA) for that day, must be reduced
				according to the following formula:
Allowable employee exposure (in
				  [MICRO]g/m3) = 400 divided by hours worked in the
				  day.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
The information contained in the appendices to WAC
				  296-155-176 is not intended by
				  itself, to create any additional obligations not otherwise imposed by this
				  standard nor detract from any existing obligation.
(1)
Substance identification.
(a) Substance: Pure lead (Pb) is a heavy
				metal at room temperature and pressure and is a basic chemical element. It can
				combine with various other substances to form numerous lead
				compounds.
(b) Compounds covered by
				the standard: The word "lead" when used in this standard means elemental lead,
				all inorganic lead compounds and a class of organic lead compounds called lead
				soaps. This standard does not apply to other organic lead compounds.
(c) Uses: Exposure to lead occurs in several
				different occupations in the construction industry, including demolition or
				salvage of structures where lead or lead-containing materials are present;
				removal or encapsulation of lead-containing materials, new construction,
				alteration, repair, or renovation of structures that contain lead or materials
				containing lead; installation of products containing lead. In addition, there
				are construction related activities where exposure to lead may occur, including
				transportation, disposal, storage, or containment of lead or materials
				containing lead on construction sites, and maintenance operations associated
				with construction activities.
(d)
				Permissible exposure: The permissible exposure limit (PEL) set by the standard
				is 50 micrograms of lead per cubic meter of air (50
				[MICRO]g/m3), averaged over an 8-hour
				workday.
(e) Action level: The
				standard establishes an action level of 30 micrograms of lead per cubic meter
				of air (30 [MICRO]g/m3), averaged over an 8-hour
				workday. The action level triggers several ancillary provisions of the standard
				such as exposure monitoring, medical surveillance, and training.
