What Does PEL Stand For?
PEL stands for Permissible Exposure Limit
PEL, or Permissible Exposure Limit, refers to the maximum concentration of a hazardous substance that a worker can be exposed to over a defined period, typically an eight-hour workday. Established by regulatory agencies, PELs are designed to protect workers' health by minimizing the risk of adverse effects from occupational exposure to toxic or harmful substances. These limits are critical for ensuring safe working environments, guiding safety practices, and informing regulatory compliance in various industries.
