Explanation:

Nível de actuação = Nível de ação = valor acima do qual devem ser iniciadas ações preventivas

http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/action-level.ht...

action level

Level of exposure to a harmful substance or other hazard (present in a work environment or situation) at which an employer must take the required precautions to protect the workers. It is normally one half of the permissible exposure limit.

--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 2 hrs (2016-06-03 23:53:22 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

Veja que permissible exposure limit e action limitsão conceitos diferentes: deve-se agir antes que o limite permissível seja alcançado. Portanto, o action level é sempre inferior ao permissible level.

Como já mencionado na referência acima, o action level costuma ser metade do permissible level.
