TIM, or Toxic Industrial Materials, refers to any substance that in a given quantity produces a toxic/harmful effect in exposed personnel through inhalation, ingestion, or absorption or other physical contact. TIM – Toxic Industrial Materials

  3. TIM Examples • Used in Manufacturing of • Chemicals • Polymers • Pharmaceuticals • Food & Beverages • Electricity • Refining oil • Natural gas processing • Biochemicals
