Resumen The revised OSHA standards establish a permissible exposure limit of 0.2 fibre/cm3 of air, determined as an 8h TWA airborne concentration. Separate standards and statements of reasons have been developed for the general industry (including maritime) and the construction industry. These standards also establish a 0.1 fibre/cm3 (TWA concentration) "action level" above which employers must initiate specific compliance activities. In addition the standards provide for requirements for methods of compliance, personal protective equipment, employee monitoring, medical surveillance, hazard communications, regulated areas, housekeeping procedures and record-keeping.
