    • N / A

    b. If employees are exposed to toxic material, statement that exposure is at or above the Permissible Exposure Limit for crystalline quartz?

    • Yes
    • No
    • N / A

    c. Any employee complaints of symptoms attributable to exposures? If "yes", go to symptoms list.

    7. If any exposure measurement indicates exposure above the Permissible Exposure Limit, have you:

    a. Identified all employees so exposed?

    • N / A

    b. Sampled those employees so identified?

    • Yes
    • No
    • N / A
