• Part Number: 1910
• Part Title: Occupational Safety and Health Standards
• Subpart: Z
• Subpart Title: Toxic and Hazardous Substances
• Standard Number: 1910.1025
• Title: Lead.
The primary purpose of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 is to assure, so far as possible,
safe and healthful working conditions for every working man and woman. The occupational health
standard for inorganic lead(1) was promulgated to protect workers exposed to inorganic lead including
metallic lead, all inorganic lead compounds and organic lead soaps.

1910.25 LEAD
Definitions.
"Action level" means employee exposure, without regard to the use of respirators, to an airborne
concentration of lead of 30 micrograms per cubic meter of air (30 ug/m(3)) averaged over an 8-hour
period.
"Assistant Secretary" means the Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health, U.S.
Department of Labor, or designee.
"Director" means the Director, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), U.S.
Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, or designee.

This appendix summarizes key provisions of the standard that you as a worker should become familiar
with.
Medical Surveillance Guidelines - 1910.1025 App. C
Under this final standard in effect as of March 1, 1979, occupational exposure to inorganic lead is to be
limited to 50 ug/m(3) (micrograms per cubic meter) based on an 8 hour time-weighted average (TWA).
This level of exposure eventually must be achieved through a combination of engineering, work
practice and other administrative controls. Periods of time ranging from 1 to 10 years are provided for
different industries to implement these controls. The schedule which is based on individual industry
considerations is given in Table 1. Until these controls are in place, respirators must be used to meet
the 50 ug/m(3) exposure limit.
The standard also provides for a program of biological monitoring and medical surveillance for all
employees exposed to levels of inorganic lead above the action level of 30 ug/m(3) (TWA) for more
than 30 days per year.
Reasonably Anticipated to be a Human Carcinogen.
