Dear Stakeholder:
Each year, the American Conference of Governmental Industrial
Hygienists (“ACGIH”) publishes a list of substances
for which they have set new or revised threshold limit
values (“TLVs”). A TLV is the exposure limit
which is the maximum allowed airborne concentration
for a particular substance, and may be an 8-hour time
weighted average, short-term exposure limit or ceiling
limit.
In
accordance with section 5.48 of the Occupational Health
and Safety Regulation, these new or revised TLVs are
automatically adopted as WorkSafeBC occupational exposure
limits (“OELs”) unless otherwise determined
by the Board of Directors of WorkSafeBC.
WorkSafeBC is requesting stakeholder feedback on the
new
or revised 2008 OELs. All stakeholder feedback will
be presented to the Board of Directors of WorkSafeBC.
Your
feedback on the new or revised 2008 ACGIH TLVs is appreciated
by
4:30 p.m., September 15, 2009. Feedback can be
