Posted By Brian Kane Does anyone know (I'm sure they will) the acceptable exposure limits for CO exposure. We have an issue with it but there seems to be uncertainty about exposure limits. Thanks in anticipation Brian

Posted By andrew morris Hi, you should reduce as much as poss, but limits are Long term 8hr TWA 30ppm or 36mg.m-3 shortterm 15min ref period 200ppm 232mg.m-3 Strongly advise that you avoid all exposure though - you'd have to have good backup for why not reasonably practicable... For more info see the ACOP on COSHH and the WEL's.
