• Where airborne exposure monitoring reveals an exposure level routinely above<br />
the action level (or in the absence of an action level, the Permissible Exposure<br />
Limit) for an OSHA regulated substance for which there are exposure monitoring<br />
and medical surveillance requirements. Action level means the airborne<br />
concentration of a specific chemical, identified by OSHA, and calculated as an 8-<br />
hour time weighted average (TWA).<br />
• Whenever an event such as a spill, leak, explosion or other occurrence takes place<br />
and results in the likelihood of a hazardous exposure. In such an event, the<br />
employee shall be provided an opportunity for a medical consultation. The<br />
consultation shall be for the purpose of determining the need for further medical<br />
examination.<br />
More information on action levels and Permissible Exposure Limits can be found on<br />
