Scheduled Self-Monitoring: If a control method is not listed on Table 1 and no objective data is available, OSHA requires employers implement a monitoring program to show that the employees have exposure levels below the PEL. The employer shall perform initial monitoring to assess the 8-hour TWA exposure for each employee on the basis of one or more personal breathing zone air samples that reflect the exposures of employees on each shift, for each job classification, in each work area.
