Exposure action value

Exposure Action Values (EAVs) are specific levels of exposure to a particular hazardous agent, such as chemicals in the workplace, that require action to protect workers’ health and safety. They are part of a broader framework for managing occupational health risks and are often established by regulatory bodies or organizations specializing in occupational safety. In many countries, the concept of EAVs is used in conjunction with Exposure Limit Values (ELVs), which are the maximum allowable concentrations of harmful substances in the workplace air.
