PAST PROJECTS:
Worker Exposure Monitoring

 

PROJECT LOCATION:

Sawmill

HAZARDS:

Methanol, silica dust, titanium dioxide and ethylene glycol in spray paint

ASSESSMENT STRATEGY:

Area and occupational sampling during maintenance and clean-up activities

OUTCOME:

Workers were exposed to titanium, methanol and ethylene glycol, but all levels were less than the applicable WorkSafe BC exposure limits. Recommended regular sampling to ensure no changes to levels of contaminants in air.
