The Marine Corps has established strict controls to limit both occupational and environmental exposures to lead. This is due to the serious health hazards associated with lead and the numerous sources of potential lead exposures. Warning signs and caution labels shall be posted in each location where airborne lead may exceed the PEL which is 50 ug/m3 as an eight hour TWA. Personnel working with lead shall:
- Comply with work control procedures.
- Properly wear or use the prescribed PPE.
- Report to their supervisor any unsafe work conditions.
- Ensure they have received the proper medical examinations as required.
