How does a Project Leader/Facility Manager/Supervisor conduct an employee exposure assessment?
Employee exposure assessments are a two step process that includes the development of job hazard assessments and the required personal exposure air sampling based on employee exposure determination or the use of certain chemicals. A. Job Hazard Assessment (JHA) is a systematic process for identifying real or potential safety and health hazards inherent in a system or operation. The JHA may include any combination of personnel, equipment, facilities, and environment in a functional unit. See 240 FW 1 for information on conducting a JHA. B. Personal exposure air sampling is where we can definitively determine what the actual chemical exposure levels to our employees are during performance of their duties. The methods for testing and observation vary depending on the type of chemicals. (1) A qualified technician or someone who receives training on how to perform chemical-specific testing may conduct personal employee exposure testing.
