Instructions

This assignment has two parts. Both parts will be combined and submitted within the same document. For this assignment, begin by analyzing the items in the table below and then answering the associated questions.

Hazard/Occupational Exposure Limits (OEL)s

-Manganese Fume    5 mg/m3 (OSHA Ceiling )
0.1 mg/m3 (ACGIH 8-hour TWA (I))
-Copper Fume    0.1 mg/m3 (OSHA 8-hour TWA)
0.2 mg/m3 (ACGIH 8-hour TWA)
-Lead Fume    0.05 mg/m3 (OSHA 8-hour TWA)
0.05 mg/m3 (ACGIH 8-hour TWA
-1,2,4 trimethylbenzene    OSHA None Established
25 ppm (ACGIH 8-hour TWA TLV)
-Toluene    200 ppm (OSHA 8-hour TWA)
300 ppm (OSHA Ceiling)
20 ppm (ACGIH 8-hour TWA TLV)
-Xylene    100 ppm (OSHA 8-hour TWA)
100 ppm (ACGIH 8-hour TWA
-Metal Working Fluids    OSHA None Established
0.5 mg/m3 (NIOSH 10-hour TWA REL)

Part I: For each of the chemical hazards answer the following:

Compare your calculated exposures in Unit IV to one of the occupational exposure limits (OELs) in the table.
Does the calculated exposure exceed the OEL you chose?
Discuss why you chose the OELs you used.
Provide your opinion as to whether the risk associated with each exposure is an acceptable level of risk.
Part II: Analyze the table below, and then answer the associated questions.

Location/ Shift Length/Result

Shipping/Receiving    8 hours    78.3 dBA (Lavg)
Hydraulic Press    12 hours    93.0 dBA (Lavg)
Metal Working Line    12 hours    84 dBA (Lavg)
Robotic Welding    12 hours    80.5 dBA (Lavg)
Hand Welding    12 hours    81.3 dBA (Lavg)
Paint Booth    12 hours    79.5 dBA (Lavg)
QA/QC Laboratory    8 hours    70.0 dBA (Lavg)
Final Inspection    8 hours    73.5 dBA (Lavg)
Answer each of the following:

Which of the results exceed the OSHA PEL?
Which of the results exceed the OSHA action level?
Provide your opinion as to whether the risk associated with each exposure is an acceptable level of risk.

Your assignment must be a minimum of two pages in length, not including title or reference pages. Your assignment must use at least two references. one could be your textbook. All references and in-text citations must be formatted according to APA standards.

I will upload some material and example of assignment.
