Personal Protective Equipments, (PPE).

Simply being exposed to a chemical or other potentially harmful substance (i.e. dust) does not necessarily mean that you will contract an illness or disease. Chemicals and other potentially harmful substances affect body organs in various ways. Information has been gathered regarding many of the chemicals you may encounter in the workplace. Groups such as the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) research such information. The information helps the groups performing the research to determine the concentration(s) at which workers will start to experience adverse health effects when exposed to certain chemicals over certain amounts of time. The limits are based upon a number of factors including, but not limited to, toxicity and cancer causing capabilities.
Every employer should be able to establish Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs), Short-Term Exposure Limits (STELs), Ceiling limits (C) and excursion limits. Threshold limit values (TLVs), for the safety of every personell including the employers, employees, clients, visitors, e.t.c. Exceeding this limits can result in death, serious injury or illness. These terms are commonly found on Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs).
