Organic solvents are chemical snbstances used routinely and extensively in commercial and other industries. Many chemical substances used to dissolve or dilute other substances and materials are called solvents. Industrial solvents are often mixtures of several individual substances. They can be found under a variety of trade names. Since the advent of the Indnstrial Revolution, the use of non-water-based chemicals has increased dramatically. According to the report of the National Institute of Safety and Health (NIOSH), more than 49 million tons of organic solvents were pro-dnced in the United States alone in 1984, and today much larger quantities of many solvents are produced around the world.

There are many suppliers and manufacturers of PPE. Several factors should be evaluated before choosing a supplier. Those factors are the product s quality, whether the product meets the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) or the National Institute for Safety and Health s (NIOSH) standards, and availability and delivery of the PPE. Prior to choosing a supplier, test performance data should be requested and samples obtained for circulation among the workforce to get feedback from the actual users. The worst thing management can do is buy bulky or uncomfortable PPE that the workers will avoid wearing, especially when they know comfortable PPE is available.

Chapter 20, Applied Ergonomics Significance and Opportunity, and Chapter 21, On Quality Management and the Practice of Safety, address the design, engineering, and risk assessment aspects that are fundamental in those endeavors. Comments are included in Chapter 18, Prevention through Design The Standard, on the extensive involvement at the National Institute for Safety and Health (NIOSH) on its PtD initiative. 

For a particular toxic material the concentration and period of exposure (dosage) determine the hazard level. Data on hazards in some cases can be found in many documents, such as the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) published by the manufacturer of the particular materials, in National Institute Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) publication NIOSH Pocket Guide to Hazardous Chemicals (DHHS, 1990), or Emergency Response Planning Guidelines for Air Contaminants (ERPGs) issued by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (1992).
