CHEMICALS WITH OSHA
AIR SAMPLING REQUIREMENTS
NC State EH&S (Industrial Hygiene
group) conducts exposure assessment surveys of work areas to review safe work
practices, to assess the potential for chemical exposure, and to recommend corrective
action. OSHA requirements include air sampling, medical surveillance, and special
handling procedures for certain materials and circumstances. Any new use of
any of the substances in the following list should be immediately added to your
chemical inventory, a copy of your updated inventory submitted to EH&S (Att.
Bruce Macdonald, Box 8007) and an e-mail submitted to Roger_Lewis@ncsu.edu.
If you have not yet provided this notification for a listed material, please
consider this as new use for reporting purposes and supply the requested information.
This will permit the necessary interaction to determine if air sampling, medical
surveillance, or other appropriate handling procedures are necessary consistent
with federal requirements.
Asbestos - Asbestos containing
materials may not be used at NC State University. Construction and maintenance
jobs may involve the disturbance of existing asbestos-containing building
materials.This work may only be performed by specially trained personnel.
Air sampling requirements are based on type of work performed.
Lead - This covers metallic lead,
all inorganic lead compounds, and organic lead soaps. Sampling requirements
may also apply to construction/maintenance activities where lead is disturbed.
