Explanation of table headings
Substance [CAS No.]
- Lists chemicals and other substances in alphabetical order. Numerals and prefixes, for example, 1,3-, tert-, o-, sec-, cis-, are disregarded in determining alphabetical order.
- In square brackets is the Chemical Abstracts Services (CAS) registry number. This is a unique identification number assigned specifically to that substance, and can be a convenient way to identify substances.
- WorkSafeBC reviews and updates this Table annually. If the exposure limit for a substance has been revised or newly adopted since January 1, 2003 this Table reports the change with the words "Revised (year)." Each year, newly included substances and amended substances are highlighted. Recent deletions of substances from the Table are shown as strike through (e.g.
Emery - Additional explanation about this table is available at G5.48-2 Annual revisions to exposure limits.
TWA
This is the 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) limit, as defined in section 5.1 of the OHS Regulation.
- Units: Exposure limits are reported in ppm, mg/m3, or f/cc. In general, substances present in air as a vapour or gas are reported in parts per million (ppm). Substances present in air as an aerosol (dust, fume, mist) and mixtures such as diesel fuel are typically reported in milligrams per cubic metre (mg/m3). See OHS Guideline G5.48-4 for a procedure to convert from one type of unit to the other. Fibrous substances, such as synthetic vitreous fibres (e.g., glass wool fibres) are reported in fibres per cubic centimetre (f/cc). This is equivalent to fibres per millilitre, or f/ml, which is another common term.
- Endnotes: Letters in parentheses indicate endnotes, which are explained at the end of the table. Substances which have an "L " endnote are subject to section 5.57 (Designated substances) of the OHS Regulation. For more information see OHS Guideline G5.57.
STEL
This is the short-term exposure limit or STEL, which is defined in section 5.1 of the OHS Regulation. Note that:
- "C" indicates a ceiling limit, which is defined in section 5.1 of the OHS Regulation.
- The units ppm and mg/m3 are used as in the TWA column.
- In some cases, the term "simple asphyxiant " is used. This is a gas or vapour that can displace oxygen in the air, resulting in possible suffocation from lack of oxygen. Because simple asphyxiants do not have other significant toxic effects, an exposure limit is not applicable. The limiting factor is the available oxygen. See section 5.56 of the OHS Regulation (Oxygen deficiency).
Notations
The notations identify substances considered to be carcinogens, sensitizers and those with adverse reproductive effect under section 5.57 of the OHS Regulation. Section 5.57 deals with requirements for substitution and keeping exposure as low as reasonably achievable below the exposure limit. The notations column also indicates substances that contribute significantly to overall exposure by the skin route, in which case section 5.52 of the OHS Regulation applies. Note that:
- ACGIH notations A1 and A2 and IARC notations 1, 2A and 2B indicate substances designated as carcinogens under section 5.57(1) of the OHS Regulation. The different categories used by the two organizations indicate different levels of certainty of carcinogenic effect, eg. from confirmed carcinogen to probable or possible. For more information see OHS Guideline G5.57.
- The letter "S" indicates that the substance is a sensitizer under section 5.57(1) of the OHS Regulation. For more information see OHS Guideline G5.57.
- The letter "R" means that the substance has an adverse reproductive effect under section 5.57(1) of the OHS Regulation. For more information see OHS Guideline G5.57.
- The term "Skin" identifies substances that contribute significantly to the overall exposure by the skin route. For more information see OHS Guideline G5.52.

Endnotes
(E) - the value is for particulate matter containing no asbestos and less than 1% crystalline silica.
(F) - the value for fibres longer than 5 microns, with an aspect ratio of equal than/greater than 3:1, as determined by the membrane filter method at 400 - 450 times magnification (4 mm objective), using phase-contrast illumination.<
(G) - as measured by the vertical elutriator, cotton-dust sampler, see TLV Documentation.
(H) - reciprocal calculation method, see OHS Guideline G5.48-11.
(J) - does not include stearates of toxic metals.
(K) - should not exceed 2 mg/m3 respirable particulate.
(L) - exposure by all routes should be carefully controlled to levels as low as possible.
(M) - refers to sulfuric acid contained in strong inorganic acid mists.
(N) - the 8-hour TWA listed in the Table is for the total dust. The substance also has an 8-hour TWA of 3 mg/m3 for the respirable fraction.
(O) - sampled by method that does not collect vapour.
(P) - application restricted to conditions in which there are negligible aerosol exposures.
(V) - vapour and aerosol.
