Hi everyone
I have seen the action levels and suspension levels measurements in the HSE lead guidance document.
Does anyone know what the legal definition of significant is when it comes to exposure to lead please?
I could be misinterpreting this information or might have missed something.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks
DHM

From the Lead at Work ACoP-
“An employee’s exposure to lead is significant if one of the following three conditions is satisfied: - exposure exceeds half the occupational exposure limit for lead; or
- there is a substantial risk of the employee ingesting lead; or
- if there is a risk of an employee’s skin coming into contact with lead alkyls or any other substance containing lead in a form, eg lead naphthenate" which can also be absorbed through the skin.
