The Department of Labor, through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), has set a permissible exposure limit (PEL) for lead at 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air over an 8-hour workday. Additionally, an action level of 30 micrograms per cubic meter triggers certain protective measures, such as medical surveillance and exposure monitoring. These standards aim to minimize the risk of lead-related health issues among workers by enforcing safe exposure levels. Compliance with these regulations is essential for protecting worker health and safety in environments where lead exposure may occur.
