What are the OSHA Standards for Carcinogen Exposure?
OSHA has established specific standards for exposure to known carcinogens. These standards include PELs, which are the maximum amount of a substance that a worker can be exposed to during an 8-hour workday. OSHA also requires employers to implement hazard communication programs, which include proper labeling of hazardous materials, safety data sheets (SDS), and employee training programs to ensure workers are aware of the risks and know how to protect themselves.
