British Occupational Exposure Limits (BOELs)

British Occupational Exposure Limits (BOELs) are safety standards set to control the amount of harmful substances workers can be exposed to during their jobs. They define the maximum concentration of chemicals or dust in the air that workers can breathe over a specific period, typically an 8-hour workday, to prevent health issues. These limits are based on scientific research and aim to protect worker health by reducing the risk of illnesses caused by workplace exposures. Employers are responsible for ensuring that workplace levels of hazardous substances stay within these safe limits.
