used

Regulation 1984
METHODS OF COMPLIANCE
16. Engineering and work practice controls. The employer shall implement engineering and work practice
controls (including administrative controls) to reduce and maintain employee exposure to lead below the PEL.
17. Respiratory protection. Where engineering and work practice controls do not reduce employee
exposure to or below the PEL, the employer shall supplement these controls with respirators in accordance
with Part V of these Regulations.
18. Mechanical ventilation and recirculation of air.
(1) When ventilation is used to control exposure, measurements which demonstrate the effectiveness of the system in
controlling exposure, such as capture velocity, duct velocity, or static pressure shall be made at least every three months.
Measurements of the system effectiveness in controlling exposure shall be made within five days of any change in
production, process, or control which might result in a change in employee exposure to lead.
(2) If air from exhaust ventilation is re-circulated into the workplace, the employer shall ensure that the recirculation system has a
high efficiency filter with reliable back-up filters, and controls to monitor the concentration of lead in the return air and to bypass
the recirculation system automatically if it fails, are installed, operating and maintained.
19. Administrative control. If administrative controls are used as a means of reducing employee's TWA exposure to lead,
the employer shall establish and implement a job rotation schedule which includes: (a) name, identity card number and social
security number, if any, of each affected employee; (b) duration and exposure levels at each job or work station where each
affected employee is located; and (c) any other information which may be useful in assessing the reliability of administrative
controls to reduce exposure to lead.

occupational safety and health in the
manufacturing, mining, quarrying and construction
industries, whereas the other industries are not
covered.

81
The objects of this Act are

(a) to secure the safety, health and welfare of persons at work against risks to
safety or health arising out of the activities of persons at work;
(b) to protect persons at a place of work other than persons at work against
risks to safety or health arising out of the activities of persons at work;
(c) to promote an occupational environment for persons at work which is
adapted to their physiological and psychological needs;
(d) to provide the means whereby the associated occupational safety and
health legislations may be progressively replaced by a system of regulations
and approved industry codes of practice operating in combination with the
provisions of this Act designed to maintain or improve the standards of safety
and health.
