Lead Exposure in Construction

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) interim final standard for "Lead Exposure in Construction 29 CFR 1926.62" became effective on June 3, 1993. This standard reduces the permitted level of exposure to lead for construction workers. The standard also includes requirements addressing exposure assessment, methods of compliance, respiratory protection, protective clothing and equipment, hygiene facilities and practices, employee information and training, signs, recordkeeping, and observation of monitoring.
