[a] The number of workers undergoing exposure assessment is calculated differently for general industry and construction. For
general industry, the number of affected workers is the number or workers at or above the action level. For the construction
industry, the FEA assumes that 10 percent of at‐risk construction workers will undergo initial exposure assessment.

[a] The FEA assumes that construction workers in compliance with initial monitoring (Table 1) will not undergo periodic monitoring. Periodic monitoring only applies to abrasive blasters and tunnel worker
in the construction industry.
