  • Conduct personal, area, task-based, and direct-reading monitoring using approved methods and calibrated equipment.
  • Monitor potential exposures to airborne contaminants, respirable crystalline silica, asbestos, lead, metals, welding fumes, particulates, nuisance dust, volatile organic compounds, solvents, coatings, adhesives, chemicals, noise, vibration, heat and cold stress, illumination, biological agents, and ergonomic stressors.
