Understanding Treshold Limit Value and Satisfaction

1. Understanding Treshold Limit Value (TLV) Presented by: Ramid V. Batuan Jr.

2. Threshold Limit Value (TLV) is a guideline developed by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). TLV represents the airborne concentration of substances to which workers can be exposed repeatedly without experiencing adverse health effects over time. What is Threshold Limit Value?

3. TYPES OF TVLs TLV - TWA (TIME - WEIGHTED AVERAGE) TLV - STEL (SHORT - TERM EXPOSURE LIMIT TLV - C (CEILING LIMIT)

4. The average concentration of a substance to which workers can be exposed over a specified period, usually an 8-hour workday or 40-hour work week. TLV - TWA (TIME - WEIGHTED AVERAGE)

5. The maximum concentration workers can be exposed to over a short duration (usually 15 minutes) without suffering adverse effects. TLV - STEL (SHORT - TERM EXPOSURE LIMIT

6. The maximum concentration of a substance that should not be exceeded at any time. TLV - C (CEILING LIMIT)

7. FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED IN TLV DETERMINATION Toxicological data on the substance Available scientific research Effects of exposure duration Individual susceptibility factors

8. Protects worker from harmful exposure to hazardous substance. What is the IMPORTANCE of TLV? Guides employers in establishing safe workplace exposure limits. Forms the basis for regulatory standards and occupational health guidelines.

9. APPLICATION OF TLV: WORKPLACE MONITORING HIERARCHY OF CONTROLS WORKER PROTECTION

10. WORKPLACE MONITORING Employers measure airbore concentrations of substances to ensure compliance with TLVs using air sampling and monitoring techniques.

11. HIERARCHY OF CONTROLS TLVs are used in the hierarchy of controls to manage workplace hazards. emphasizing elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment (PPE) as necessary.

12. WORKER PROTECTION TVs serve as benchmarks for establishing exposure limits in safety protocols. training programs, and medical surveillance to protect workers' health.

13. The attitude a business has towards maintaining the health and safety of its employees is an internal factor that employees rely on to be protected from dangers and threats in the workplace. According to the U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). employees have the right to feel safe while on the job, and employers have the obligation to ensure their safety. There are many ways that businesses can effectively manage the health and safety of their employees. INTERNAL FACTORS

14. Businesses can demonstrate their commitment to ensuring health and safety measures by creating safety management councils. These committees may be in charge of evaluating workplace conditions and employee health risks, and then taking the proper measures to make sure the office is well-equipped to deal with any threats. Safety councils are often responsible for creating safety protocols and performing safety drills. SAFETY COUNCILS

15. Developing safety protocols allows companies to keep written policies and procedures about how to prevent hazards from occurring in the workplace, as well as provide instructions on how to respond if employees’ health or safety are threatened. Safety protocols should be easily accessible for anyone in the company to review. SAFETY PROTOCOLS

16. Education is an effective way for businesses to maintain their commitment to safety. By providing training modules to employees, employers can educate staff on things like how to stay healthy during fiu season, how to prevent physical injuries on the job, how to keep work areas sanitized and how to use protective equipment in the case of emergencies. EDUCATION

17. Disaster drills are valuable because they teach people how to respond in a time of urgency. Such exercises prepare people to coordinate efforts and put their safety skills to work. Many businesses conduct safety drills, such as fire or disaster drills, to keep employees on their toes about how to respond in the case that their safety is in danger. These sorts of exercises are important, so employers may gather statistics, such as how long evacuations take, which can then be used to determine more effective and efficient ways to keep employees safe. CONDUCTING SAFETY DRILLS

18. Understanding and Implementing TLVs are essential components of occupational health and safety management. By adhering to TVLs, employers can create safer work environments, protect worker health, and ensure regulatory conmpliance .
