Threshold Limit Values
Threshold Limit Values (TLV)
are air concentration levels of hazardous
materials for exposures not exceeding a total of eight hours daily. TLVs
are published annually by the
ACGIH
. Consult a current TLV list
concerning the maximum allowable concentration of toxic material
allowed.
Conduct air sampling to determine the ventilation requirements for
operations involving the previously listed materials. When less toxic
metals are sprayed, the concentration of dust or fumes in the work area
must not exceed the TLV for eight-hour exposure. Provide respiratory
protection devices and exhaust ventilation when the dust or fume
concentration is sufficiently high to cause operator discomfort even when
the appropriate TLV is not exceeded.
