ON-SITE AIR SAMPLING
ABOUT AIR CONTAMINANTS...
In the Code of Federal Regulations, OSHA has established maximum permissable
breathing exposure limits for hundreds of chemicals. On April 1, 1996 NC
OSHA enacted its own air contaminants standard stricter than that of
federal OSHA. The employer must establish via air sampling or other objective
data that employees are not overexposed to any of these chemicals. These
exposure records must be maintained for thirty years and may be requested
at any time by past and present employees, their authorized agents, and
OSHA inspectors.
COMPLIANCE
ESP can assist employers in complying with the air contaminants standard
through passive air monitoring badges and on-site air sampling. On site
sampling is more accurate and is performed by the same methods OSHA would
use during an inspection of your workplace. Unlike OSHA, we will offer
suggestions for reducing high exposures as opposed to fining your facility.
