Lead Industrial Hazard Standard

The Lead Industrial Hazard Standard sets safety limits for exposure to lead in workplaces involved with industries like manufacturing, construction, or recycling. It defines the maximum amount of lead workers can be exposed to without risking health problems, such as nerve damage or organ issues. The standard requires employers to monitor lead levels, implement safety measures, and provide appropriate personal protective equipment. Essentially, it aims to protect workers from the harmful effects of lead by establishing clear safety guidelines and ensuring a controlled, safe working environment.
