The bottom of this EPA Document says that following the lifetime limit of benzene exposure will result in a likelihood of developing cancer at 1 in a million chances.

The article didn't mention exposure limits, but I would think that stovetop production of benzene is far less than industrial sources of exposure such as the oil industry or on tankers, that the federal limits were created for.
