<br /> due to aggravation of a pre-existing condition or development of an occupational illness. The majority of PELs
<br /> are expressed as a time-weighted average based on an eight-hour workday,five days a week or 40-hour
<br /> workweek. The PEL is an average exposure concentration spread over a 480-minute exposure period.
<br /> ' CAL/OSHA also has established short-term exposure limits(STEL)for certain substances that typically have
<br /> strong irritant properties. STELs are based on a 15-minute average exposure limit. In addition, some substances
<br /> have ceiling exposure limits that establish exposure limits that cannot be exceeded at any time. In many cases,a
<br /> specific chemical hazard will have an eight-hour PEL, a 15-minute STEL,and a ceiling limit. Certain substances,
<br /> which can readily enter the body via skin contact,are denoted by CAL/OSHA with"S"notation,referring to skin
<br /> absorption. The same notations and standards are used in this HSP.
<br /> The following table lists the COCs associated with the site operations covered by this HSP and includes routes of
<br /> exposure, symptoms, PELs, immediately dangerous to life and health(IDLH)concentrations,and lower explosive
<br /> limits(LELs).
