Known Vinyl Chloride Worksites
 FREE Case Review
Because it is one of the most versatile compounds ever invented, Vinyl Chloride is found in tens of thousands of worksites across the country. Vinyl Chloride is not just dangerous to those who make the chemical or manufacture projects, but for those that live near the plants, those who load it on trucks or trains, and virtually anyone who comes into contact with the chemical. A few common jobsites where Vinyl Chloride poses a significant threat are:
- Vinyl Chloride manufacturing plants
- Train yards, docks, trucking depots, anywhere VC is distributed
- Plastic manufacturers
- Hazardous waste disposal facilities
Although the dangers of VC have significantly diminished because of stricter federal regulations, it still presents hazard on certain jobsites. Governmental standards dictate that vinyl chloride is so dangerous, exposure must be limited to one part per million per eight hour workday.
