Abstract:
Permanent variance is granted to AMAX Lead Company of Missouri from
the part of the lead standard, 1910.1025(f)(2), Table II, which
limits the use of half-mask, air-purifying respirators to areas
where the lead concentration in air is not in excess of 500
micrograms per cubic meter of air (10 times the PEL). AMAX is
authorized under specified conditions to permit employees to wear
such respirators where they are exposed to lead at concentrations in
excess of 500 micrograms per cubic meter of air. Effective date of
variance is May 6, 1986.
