The construction industry is exempt from the medical monitoring portions of the US Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration General Industry Lead Standard. Of 28 construction workers reported to the California Occupational Lead Registry through March 1989, 11 (39%) had blood lead levels of 2.90 mumol/L (60 micrograms/dL) or greater, the level at which immediate removal from lead exposure is mandated in nonconstruction industries. Many workers had not been warned of possible lead exposure. The exemption of the construction industry from the General Industry Lead Standard should be reconsidered.
美国联邦职业安全与健康管理局的《一般工业铅标准》中的医学监测部分不适用于建筑业。截至1989年3月向加利福尼亚职业铅登记处报告的28名建筑工人中,有11人(39%)的血铅水平达到或高于2.90微摩尔/升(60微克/分升),在非建筑行业,这一水平要求立即停止铅暴露。许多工人并未得到可能接触铅的警告。建筑业免于执行《一般工业铅标准》这一规定应重新审议。
