The subject is about industrial hygiene in the foundries industry in terms of exposure to physical agent hazards such as noise, vibration, gases, fumes, and vapors. I am looking for the procedure of testing exposure limits.

And my question is: what are the Procedures in foundry - which may include;

1. The type of testing pertinent to the industry being studied & the qualifications of those involved.

2. When the testing should take place, based on ACGIH or other industry standards.

3. How often testing should take place, based on legislation, ACGIH, CCOHS, & industry best practices.

4. Where hygiene testing should typically take place within a facility, based on your research.

5. What steps should be taken to protect worker health & safety if new installations or processes are introduced, based on legislation (OHSA) or industry best practices.

6. Where exposure samples should be sent to ensure accurate results.

ü Communications & Survey Results Analysis - which may include;

1. Who to notify of test results within an organization.

2. List what should be done with test results. What should they be compared to?

3. How long should records be retained based on legislation or best practices.

4. In the absence of legislated exposure limits list what standard should be adopted.

5. If exposure limits are exceeded list a brief overview of the next steps or corrective actions.
