According to a recent OSHA QuickTakes, California Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board adopted lower permissible exposure limits (PELs) for carbon disulfide, hydrogen fluoride, sulfuric acid and toluene.
California’s OSHSB adopted the new PELs on January 19, and the changes went into effect on March 17. More information about exposure limits is available in the California Department of Industrial Relations’ PEL and STEL table.
If you have employees who are exposed to those contaminants, consider evaluating how your current employee exposure compares to the new California standards.
