OSHA is participating in the Gulf Coast cleanup to assure that workers have safety and health training and protection necessary to avoid injuries and illnesses. Between 15 and 20 OSHA Compliance officers are in the field everyday monitoring worker safety and health. OSHA has been at all 17 staging areas and many more actual worksites.
OSHA staff is conducting interventions and are collecting information on employers, workers, and the work performed. They are evaluating operations for potential hazards, the personal protective equipment being used and training being provided workers. If concerns are identified they are documented and addressed.
OSHA industrial hygienists are monitoring worker exposure and looking for health effects from chemical exposure to oil, weathered oil, oil dispersants, cleaning agents and other materials as identified. When evaluating worker exposure, direct reading instruments and shift-long sampling is performed in the actual breathing zone of workers.
OSHA has also sampled areas that are periodically frequented by workers but the samples are not taken from the breathing zone of workers.
Finally, OSHA has sampled directly over tar balls, inside bags containing contaminated materials, and other locations that do not represent worker exposure but provide information on the types of chemicals that may be coming off contaminated materials.
OSHA has also used instrumentation capable of evaluating physical hazards such as noise and heat stress.
Locations and Data will continue to be added to this web page as they become available.

Unit Description
LEL – Lower Explosive Limit (%)
Measures the lowest (leanest) concentration of combustible gases and vapors in air that is flammable. 10% LEL means concentrations are 1/10th or 10% of the concentration that would support a fire or explosion.
VOC – Volatile Organic Compounds (parts per million or ppm concentrations in air)
Carbon based (organic) compounds that are found in the air as gases or vapors.
O2 – Oxygen (%)
Air is comprised of 21% oxygen.
H2S – Hydrogen Sulfide (parts per million or ppm concentration in air)
Hydrogen Sulfide is a toxic gas often found in crude oil.
CO – Carbon Monoxide (parts per million or ppm concentrations in air)
Carbon monoxide is a toxic gas associated with fuel combustion.
Petroleum Hydrocarbons (parts per million or ppm concentrations in air)
Petroleum hydrocarbons is a term used to describe a large family of several hundred chemical compounds that originally come from crude oil.
Benzene (parts per million or ppm concentrations in air)
Benzene a colorless and highly flammable liquid found in crude oil that is a human carcinogen.
ND – Non-detected
Materials sampled were not found at levels high enough to positively identify
< - Sample results which are reported with a “<” in front of a value indicate that no reading or result was obtained at the limit of detection for the instrument or method being used.
