About this Episode
In this episode, Jake and Bob, sit down to chat about exposure limits, looking at them through an industrial hygienist’s lens and a “Haz Mat Response” perspective. We’ll cover a mix of the common ones, the lesser-known ones, and a few you might not really care about, but knowing them can help you sound sharp when you’re talking with people on scene.
Also, quick heads-up: the show’s format is shifting a bit. We’ll be bringing on regular guests, and some episodes will have Bob and/or Mike stepping back so others can jump in with their own takes and opinions. We hope you enjoy the change, stick around, and keep growing with us.
