Wash. Admin. Code § 296-842-19005 - Provide standby assistance in immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) conditions
IMPORTANT: DOSH currently uses the IDLH values in the 1990 NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards to determine the existence of IDLH conditions. You may use more recent editions of this guide. Visitwww.cdc.gov/niosh for more information.
Note: |
You need only one standby employee if the IDLH condition is well characterized, will remain stable AND you can show one employee can adequately do ALL of the following: |
1. Monitor employees in the IDLH area; |
|
2. Implement communication; and |
|
3. Initiate rescue duties. |
