Rescue Service: Offsite personnel designated to rescue employees from permit spaces, or other
hazardous areas when the onsite rescue team is not available.
Site: An area where physical work is being performed and where the potential of exposure to
contaminants exists, requiring the use of chemical protective clothing and/or radiological

8 hours a day, day after day, with no harmful effect.
Threshold Limit Value-Short-Term Exposure Limit (TLV-STEL): The concentration to
