Ryan,
        Your best bet is to contact your insurance carrier and have them
send in a licensed Industrial Hygenist to perform the testing. They will
hook up a air sampling system to your operators and have them perform
their normal work routine to develop what OSHA calls an "8 hour Time
Weighted Average (TWA)" to establish average exposure. Operators working
in wavesolder operations should have blood work done when starting to
work in the area to establish a baseline of lead in their system which
is used in conjunction with ongoing blood tests (6/12 month intervals,
unless OSHA has defined a timeframe) to monitor for additional exposure.
Good luck....
