[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.
Table 2: Contract Costs for Industrial Hygienist and Laboratory to Conduct Analysis ‐ Initial Exposure Assessment
IHPBZ Cost = (GWIML + CWIM)/WPA * IHPBZ
Direct Cost = (GWIM + CWIM)/WPA * LABSHP
Total Cost = IHPBZ Cost + Direct Cost
Variables
GWIM = # of workers affected workers in general industry/maritime undergoing initital monitoring
CWIM = # of workers affected workers in general industry/maritime undergoing initital monitoring
WPA = workers per area
IHPBZ = direct cost per sample including outside contractor industrial hygienist (IH) fees and PBZ
LABSHP = direct cost per sample for lab fees and shipping

[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.
