OSHA Lead Standards

Something doesn’t feel quite right. You are exceptionally anxious and shaky; the inside of your mouth tastes like metal, and the thought of your favorite spaghetti dinner turns your stomach. You can’t sleep or focus. After years of scraping, busting, burning and blasting on the line, the harmful effects of lead exposure have begun to set in.

The training video "OSHA Lead Standards" accordingly enumerates the Permissible Exposure Limit and Action Level as established by OSHA standards. These limits determine the maximum amount of lead tolerable to employees as well as when employers need to begin precautionary training and assessment. Through incident reenactments, the program models proper hygiene and the use of personal protective equipment to reduce the risk of employee illness.

When working with lead, comply with your employer’s lead training program, insist on frequent blood tests and medical exams. This online training video explains OSHA standards for lead safety and provides you with the skills and knowledge to stay healthy when working where lead and lead-based materials are found.
