TLV defense (health)


Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) are much-criticized air contaminant standards for the workplace devised and published by a private organization called the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) and adopted by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The typical TLV defense, used as a shield from liability in personal injury lawsuits, quotes the ACGIH saying that TLVs are "thought to be safe for workers -- based on the best available information."
