Answer:

The Department of Labor established a standard to define the maximum limits of exposure to lead for all workers, including a permissible exposure limit (PEL) and action level (AL) is True

Explanation:

PEL sets the greatest worker exposure limit to lead as 50 micro-grams of lead per cubic meter of air (50µg/m^3) which is for an averaged eight-hour period. The AL, apart from of respirator use, is an airborne concentration of 30µg/m^3, for an averaged an eight-hour period. The AL is the level at which an employer must begin specific observance activities outlined in the standard protocol.
