Description:"Recommended criteria for a standard intended to protect the health of workers against exposure to hydrogen-cyanide (74908) and cyanide salts, especially sodium-cyanide (13998033), potassium-cyanide (151508) and calcium-cyanide (592018), for up to a 10-hour work shift, 40-hour work week, over a working lifetime. Occupational exposure to these compounds is defined as exposure to airborne concentrations greater than the corresponding action levels, or one- half the corresponding recommended ceiling environmental exposure limit. The main topics covered include: recommendations for levels of cyanide in the workplace air, including sampling and analysis
medical surveillance
personal protective equipment and clothing
informing employees of cyanide hazards
work practices and control procedures
sanitation, monitoring and recordkeeping
biologic effects of exposure, including epidemiology, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, and teratogenicity
environmental data and engineering controls." - NIOSHTIC-2
