Filnamn: The exemption afforded under the benzene standard for oil and gas drilling, production, and servicing operations.

OSHA interpretation letter stating that oil and gas drilling, production and servicing operations are exempt from the benzene standard (29 CFR 1910.1028), and that heater/separator-treater tank processing of crude oil counts as manufacturing or processing, so the standard applies until monitoring at two data points at least seven days apart shows exposures below the action level.
