Although ACGIH itself does not have regulatory authority, its guidelines are often used by government agencies and industries as a basis for establishing occupational exposure limits. For example, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the United States and other international regulatory bodies frequently refer to ACGIH's TLVs and BEIs when formulating their own standards. This makes ACGIH a pivotal organization in shaping workplace safety policies globally.
