PART 601. AIR CONTAMINANTS FOR CONSTRUCTION  
R 325.60151 Scope, application, and availability of standards.  
Rule 1. (1) An employer shall ensure that employee exposures to inhalation, ingestion,  
skin absorption, or contact with any material or substance at a concentration above those  
specified in the "Threshold Limit Values of Airborne Contaminants for 1970" of the  
American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, as listed in R 325.60154 to  
R 325.60161, are avoided.  
(2) To achieve compliance with subrule (1) of this rule, an employer shall ensure that  
administrative or engineering controls are implemented whenever feasible. If  
administrative or engineering controls are not feasible to achieve full compliance, then  
protective equipment or other protective measures must be used to keep the exposure of  
employees to air contaminants within the limits prescribed in this rule. Any equipment  
and technical measures used for this purpose must first be approved for each particular  
use by a competent industrial hygienist or other technically qualified person. Respirators  
must be used in a manner that is in compliance with Occupational Health Standard Part  
451. “Respiratory Protection.”  
(3) General Industry Safety and Health Standard Part 302 “Vinyl Chloride,” applies to  
the exposure of every employee to vinyl chloride in every employment and place of  
employment covered by these rules in place of any different standard on exposure to  
vinyl chloride that would otherwise be applicable under subrule (1) of this rule.  
(4) The “Threshold Limit Values (TLV) of the American Conference of Governmental  
Industrial Hygienists (A.C.G.I.H.) for 1970” appear in R 325.60153 to R 325.60161. The  
Threshold Limit Values identified in these rules as Maximum Allowable Concentrations  
(MAC) are specified in these rules.  
(5) These rules do not apply to the following types of employment:  
(a) Agriculture.  
(b) Domestic.  
(c) Mining.  
(d) General industry work.

(6) Exposure to air contaminants in general industry work is covered by General  
Industry Safety and Health Standard Part 301. “Air Contaminants for General Industry.”  
(7) The following Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA)  
standards are referenced in these rules. Up to 5 copies of these standards may be  
obtained at no charge from the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic  
Opportunity, MIOSHA Regulatory Services Section, 530 West Allegan Street, P.O. Box  
30643, Lansing, Michigan, 48909-8143 or via the internet at the following website:

R 325.60152 Definitions.  
Rule 2. (1) "Maximum allowable concentration" or "MAC" means the threshold limit  
value or the time-weighted average 8-hour airborne concentration of a contaminant to  
which a person may be safely exposed.  
(2) "Mg/m3" means milligrams of particulate per cubic meter of air.  
(3) "Mppcf" means millions of particulates per cubic foot of air based on impinger  
samples counted by light field microscopic techniques.  
(4) "Non-respirable atmosphere" means an atmosphere that contains insufficient  
oxygen, or an elevated level of contaminants that may render a person incapable of self-  
rescue.  
(5) "Ppm" means parts of vapor or gas per million parts of air by volume at 25 degrees  
Celsius and 760 millimeters of mercury pressure.  
(6) "Source" means a process or equipment that releases a contaminant into the air in  
concentrations exceeding the MAC.  
History: 2002 AACS; 2017 AACS.  
R 325.60153 Contaminants; exposures; MAC.  
Rule 3. (1) An employer shall not allow an employee to be exposed to a contaminant  
at concentrations in excess of the MAC as listed in R 325.60154 to R 325.60161.  
(2) An employer shall not allow an employee to be exposed to a contaminant or  
combination of contaminants in concentrations that are hazardous or injurious to the  
person's health.  
History: 2002 AACS.  
R 325.60154 Maximum allowable concentrations.  
Rule 4. (1) Maximum allowable concentrations of air contaminants based on a repeated  
8-hour work day exposure are listed in tables 1 to 7 in R 325.60155 to R 325.60161.  
(2) A substance in tables 1 to 6 that is preceded by the letter A, C, S, or STEL is an  
especially hazardous contaminant and all the following precautions shall be taken:  
(a) If the substance is preceded by the letter "A", then an employer shall ensure that an  
employee or any part of an employee’s anatomy is not exposed to, or allowed to come in  
contact with, the substance by means of any respiratory, oral, or skin route.  
(b) If the substance is preceded by the letter "C", then its MAC means the highest  
concentration at which an employer may allow a person to be exposed at any time unless  
noted otherwise. This concentration is commonly referred to as a “ceiling.”  
(c) If the substance is preceded by the letter "S", then an employer shall ensure that  
precautions are taken to prevent skin absorption.  
Page 3  
Courtesy of Michigan Administrative Rules  
(d) If the substance is preceded by “STEL”, then it means the STEL listed. For  
example, an employee's 15-minute, time-weighted average exposure, shall not be  
exceeded at any time during a work day. The STEL is commonly referred to as the  
"short-term exposure limit."
