NMU's Compliance Database - Northern Michigan University

Applies to exposure to lead during construction only. The University must conduct lead exposure assessments for construction jobs (alternation, repair, demolition, painting, decorating) with possible exposure to lead to determine if exposure threshold met (i.e. > 50 micrograms concentration per cubic meter of air averaged over an 8 hours). If threshold met, the University must notify affected employee, institute engineering and work practice controls to reduce exposure to permissible levels, and conduct repeat monitoring. Also applies to contractors.
