§ 1915.1000 Air contaminants.
Wherever this section applies, an employee's exposure to any substance listed in Table Z - Shipyards of this section shall be limited in accordance with the requirements of the following paragraphs of this section.
(a)
(1) Substances with limits preceded by “C” - Ceiling values. An employee's exposure to any substance in Table Z - Shipyards, the exposure limit of which is preceded by a “C,” shall at no time exceed the exposure limit given for that substance. If instantaneous monitoring is not feasible, then the ceiling shall be assessed as a 15-minute time weighted average exposure which shall not be exceeded at any time over a working day.
(2) Other Substances - 8-hour Time Weighted Averages. An employee's exposure to any substance in Table Z - Shipyards, the exposure limit of which is not preceded by a “C,” shall not exceed the 8-hour Time Weighted Average given for that substance in any 8-hour work shift of a 40-hour work week.
(b)-(c) [Reserved]
(d) Computation formula. The computation formula which shall apply to employee exposure to more than one substance for which 8-hour time weighted averages are listed in subpart Z of 29 CFR part 1915 in order to determine whether an employee is exposed over the regulatory limit is as follows:
(1)
(i) The cumulative exposure for an 8-hour work shift shall be computed as follows:
E = (Ca Ta + Cb Tb + ...Cn Tn) ÷ 8
Where:
E is the equivalent exposure for the working shift.
C is the concentration during any period of time T where the concentration remains constant.
T is the duration in hours of the exposure at the concentration C.
The value of E shall not exceed the 8-hour time weighted average specified in subpart Z of 29 CFR part 1915 for the material involved.
(ii) To illustrate the formula prescribed in paragraph (d)(1)(i) of this section, assume that Substance A has an 8-hour time weighted average limit of 100 ppm noted in Table Z - Shipyards. Assume that an employee is subject to the following exposure:
Two hours exposure at 150 ppm
Two hours exposure at 75 ppm
Four hours exposure at 50 ppm
Substituting this information in the formula, we have
(2 × 150 + 2 × 75 + 4 × 50) ÷ 8 = 81.25 ppm
Since 81.25 ppm is less than 100 ppm, the 8-hour time weighted average limit, the exposure is acceptable.
(2)
(i) in case of a mixture of air contaminants an employer shall compute the equivalent exposure as follows:
Em = (C1 ÷ L1 + C2 ÷ L2) + ...(Cn ÷ Ln)
Where:
Em is the equivalent exposure for the mixture.
C is the concentration of a particular contaminant.
L is the exposure limit for that substance specified in subpart Z of 29 CFR part 1915.
The value of Em shall not exceed unity (1).
(ii) To illustrate the formula prescribed in paragraph (d)(2)(i) of this section, consider the following exposures:
Substance Actual concentration of 8 hour exposure (ppm) 8 hr. TWA PEL (ppm) B 500 1000 C 45 200 D 40 200 Since Em is less than unity (1), the exposure combination is within acceptable limits.
