16. OTHER INFORMATION
Definitions:
The Maximum Fume Exposure Guideline™ (MFEG)™ is a guideline limit for total welding fume exposure for a
specific consumable product which may be used by employers to manage worker exposure to welding fume
where that product is used. The MFEG™ is an estimate of the level of total welding fume exposure for a given
product above which the exposure limit for one of the fume constituents may be exceeded. The exposure limits
referenced are the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Value
(TLV®) and the U.S. OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) whichever limit is lower. The MFEG™ never
exceeds 5 mg/m
3
which is the maximum recommended exposure limit for total welding fume. The MFEG™ is
intended to serve as a general guideline to assist in the management of workplace exposure to welding
fume and does not replace the regular measurement and analysis of worker exposure to individual
welding fume constituents.
The Maximum Dust Exposure Guideline™ (MDEG)™ is provided to assist with the management of workplace
exposures where granular solid welding products or other materials are being utilized. It is derived from relevant
compositional data and estimates the lowest level of total airborne dust exposure, for a given product, at which
some specific constituent might potentially exceed its individual exposure limit. The specific exposure limits
referenced are the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Value
(TLV®) and the U. S. OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL), which ever value is the lowest. The MDEG™ is
never greater than 10 mg/m³ as this is the airborne exposure guideline for total particulate (total dust). The
MDEG™ is intended to serve as a general guideline to assist in the management of workplace exposure
and does not replace the regular measurement and analysis of worker exposure to individual airborne
dust constituents.
