How frequently does NIOSH recommend that trace gas analysis should be performed?

Monthly
Quarterly
Biannually
Annually

The correct answer is: Quarterly

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommends that trace gas analysis should be performed quarterly. This frequency is important for maintaining safety standards in environments where anesthetic gases are used, as it helps ensure that exposure levels remain within permissible limits. Regular monitoring can identify any increases in trace gas levels that may pose health risks to staff and patients, thereby allowing for timely interventions. Quarterly analysis strikes a balance between being frequent enough to maintain safety without being overly burdensome on resources and workflow. This approach reflects best practices in occupational health and safety management.
