The Occupational Safety and 
Health Administration (OSHA) 
presents a framework of federal 
regulations that set chemical 
exposure standards for the 
workplace environment. These 
standards outline allowable limits 
that employees may be safely 
exposed to during the work day. 
Effective ventilation systems are an 
important tool that will help 
minimize employee exposure to 
photographic processing 
chemicals. While photographic 
processing facilities are typically 
considered to be a low hazard 

workplace, indoor air quality 
environment can be improved if 
well engineered ventilation 
systems are installed.

This publication will provide 

information on the following 
topics:
• Indoor air quality
• Exposure concepts
• Air contaminants
• Exposure standards and 

guidelines

• Methods of evaluation 
• Ventilation and work practice 

control measures

This publication is meant to assist others with their compliance programs. However, this is

 

not a comprehensive treatment of the issues. We cannot identify all possible situations and 
ultimately it is the reader’s obligation to decide on the appropriateness of this information to 
his/her operation.
