Under Cal/OSHA regulations for lead exposure in construction (Title 8 CCR Section 1532.1), at what airborne concentration must employers implement engineering controls and work practice controls as the primary means of protection?

Correct Answer

B) Any detectable level above background

California's lead standard in construction (Title 8 CCR 1532.1) is more stringent than federal OSHA, requiring engineering and work practice controls as primary protection at any detectable level above background, rather than waiting for specific threshold concentrations. This reflects California's more protective approach to worker health.

Answer Options
A
30 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m³)
B
Any detectable level above background
C
15 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m³)
D
50 micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m³)
