OSHA has adopted which level as a daily eight-hour exposure limit?

• A. Allowable Daily Exposure
• B. Permissible Daily Exposure
• C. Maximum Exposure Limit
• D. Noise Exposure Cap

Answer: (A)

OSHA sets exposure limits to protect workers by capping how much of a hazardous substance a person can be exposed to on a daily basis, averaged over an 8-hour shift. The idea is to prevent cumulative health effects from repeated exposure during a typical workday, so the limit is framed as a daily eight-hour exposure. In many study materials this is labeled as Allowable Daily Exposure, which directly reflects that daily, eight-hour ceiling. (Official OSHA terminology is Permissible Exposure Limit, but the concept being tested is that there is a daily eight-hour limit to exposure.) The other phrasing either doesn’t specify a daily eight-hour basis or refers to something unrelated like noise.
