Air velocity was 0 - 5 0 fpra, excepting end end c o m e r areas where 150 fpa was found. u The Tore ahold Limit Values refer to airborne concentrations of substances and represent conditions under which it is believed that nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed day after day without verse effect. Because of wide variation in individual susceptibility, however, exposure of an occasional individual at or even below the threshold limit may not prevent discomfort, aggravation of a pre existing condition, or occupational illness. 0.

For welding inside crane base #1500 off elevated platform, or similar locations, provide flexible duct local exhaust. If this cannot be done because of arc distortion, try natural drsft with s length of sterve pipe opening to room. If goo 3 air cannot be maintained to welder under these circumatanc:a, provide approved respiratory protection or limit time of eicposu leas than TLV weighted average. This would be less than 12 minutes per hour relative to this dust count and equivalent (15 mppcf)of tentative value of 5 ~'g/M^ of Iron Oxide fume. B. In Dep't 9 vhere paint spray carries into adjacent Dep't 3, limit spray tine to less than 4 hour* per day or provide respiratory protection to employees in near areas receiving spray. Preferably, provide paint areas enclosure with water curtain exhaust. C. In East End of Dep't 15 (sample #7) Paint Shop, provide supplied , air respirator. Consider down draft ventilation as in dept 1 or enclosure of paint area including water curtain exhaust. 4a an alternative, H a l t spray time to 5 minutes per hour, with approved respirator system for both organic vapors and paint particles. E. Provide maintenance for down draft ventilation in Dep't 1. Very truly yours Maurice E. Hatten, P.E. Industrial Hygiene Engineer E t end: TLV book .
