permissible exposure limits (pels)

Who Establishes PELs?

In the United States, PELs are primarily established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Other organizations, such as the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH), also set exposure limits, known as Recommended Exposure Limits (RELs) and Threshold Limit Values (TLVs), respectively. While RELs and TLVs are not legally enforceable, they are often referenced in occupational health and safety practices.
