Are engineering controls and handling practices included in the OEL Fastrac monographs?
| No. Each OEL monograph contains a control band classification for both the Affygility Solutions’ 5-‐band system and the traditional 4-‐band system. The specific engineering controls and handling practices for each band are unique to the individual company. These controls and practices depend on the unit operation being performed, existing engineering controls, the physical form and amount of material, and previous industrial hygiene or surrogate monitoring results. Through the use of Affytrac, Affygility Solutions can assist in performing qualitative exposure assessment to determine if the existing engineering, administrative, and personal protective equipment is adequate. |
