In which section would you find the OSHA PEL and TLVs?

• A. Section 8
• B. Section 3
• C. Section 4
• D. Section 7

Answer: (A)

PEL and TLV values relate to how much of a hazardous substance workers can be exposed to. The section that gathers exposure data, limits, and related controls is where these values belong. In the material this question uses, that topic is organized in the section dedicated to exposure limits, which is Section eight. PELs are enforceable limits set by OSHA, while TLVs are recommended exposure levels from industry guidelines (ACGIH) that many workplaces use as a reference. Grouping these together makes sense because both focus on limiting worker exposure to hazards. The other sections cover rights, duties, training, and enforcement topics, which is why they wouldn’t list exposure limits.
