Air Sampling

  • Purpose:

    The goal of air monitoring is to identify health hazards and determine appropriate engineering controls, work practices, and personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure employees are not exposed to levels that exceed permissible exposure limits (PELs).

OSHA does not mandate air sampling monitoring across the board, but requires it when there is a potential for employees to be exposed to hazardous concentrations of substances to ensure proper selection of controls, work practices, and PPE. Required air monitoring is detailed in specific substance-specific standards, such as those for confined spaces, excavation, and noise exposure, each outlining its own procedures for testing the atmosphere or an employee's personal breathing zone. Employers are responsible for implementing monitoring programs and ensuring the accuracy of results, often involving calibrated instruments, specific sampling methods, and employee notification of findings.
