A health hazard survey was conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to evaluate carbon monoxide exposures resulting from the use of gasoline powered vehicles inside an airplane maintenance hangar at Frontier Airlines, Stapleton Airport, Denver, Colorado. Three environmental surveys were conducted in December, 1972 when the hangar was closed due to cold weather. No carbon monoxide concentrations exceeded the established health standard of 50 ppm for 8-hour (TWA) as promulgated by the U.S. Department of Labor, or the NIOSH recommended standard of 35 ppm (TWA). It was determined that toxic conditions due to carbon monoxide did not exist at the time of this evaluation. Recommendation suggested to management advising them to replace the gasoline-powered vehicles with battery-operated vehicles was taken and all vehicles used at this time are battery operated.
