OSHA's standards for lead primarily cover inorganic lead, which includes various lead compounds such as lead oxide and lead sulfide. The regulations apply to industries such as construction, manufacturing, and maritime, where exposure to lead dust, fumes, or vapors can occur. OSHA's permissible exposure limit (PEL) for lead is set at 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air averaged over an 8-hour workday. Additionally, the standard includes provisions for monitoring, medical surveillance, and employee training to minimize lead exposure risks.

Where would one find the PEL for exposure to lead?
The permissible exposure limit (PEL) for lead can be found in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards, specifically in 29 CFR 1910.1025. This regulation outlines the maximum allowable concentration of lead in the workplace air and specifies safety measures for workers. Additionally, information can also be accessed through OSHA’s website or relevant industry safety guidelines.
What is the OSHA emphasis program?
OSHA has several National Emphasis Programs, and some OSHA Regions also have Regional Emphasis Programs. This is were OSHA focuses on those work locations that handle a specific hazardous material or use a specific hazardous process. OSHA develops a process for directing more of their inspection resources to those locations, separate from their more general, random and routine inspections. There have been national emphasis programs that focused on, for example, those industries that use lead, and one is beginning that will focus on those plants that generate explosive dusts.
What metal forms a yellow solid oxide?
The metal that forms a yellow solid oxide is lead. Lead oxide (PbO) is a yellow solid that is commonly known as litharge.
Does compliance with OSHA necessarily equal a safe workplace?
No. Compliance with OSHA is a minumum requirement and does not necessarily ensure a safe workplace but it improves safety and eliminates most hazards at work. By giving the company and the workers the right education about the hazards that are present at work, they improve in their day to day operations by being cautious about those hazards. Learning the hazards can lead to it's prevention and with the training from OSHA, handling such situation is also taught.
