Meaning of Lead: metallic lead, all inorganic lead compounds, and organic lead soaps.

Lead was widely used prior to the 1980’s before federal regulations minimized or eliminated the use.

OSHA “Action Level” when an employee is exposed to 30 micrograms per cubic meter of air without a respirator requirements

Levels at or below (30 ug/m(3)) is for a period of 8-hour per day working conditions.

Initial monitoring determines if an employee is exposed to lead concentrations at or above the action levels.
