Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.134(g)(1)(i)(A): Respirators with tight-fitting facepieces were worn by employees who had facial hair that came between the sealing surface of the facepiece and the face or that interfered with valve function: The employer is failing to prevent employee exposure to hexavalent chromium hazards. The condition was most recently observed on December 21st, 2018, at 3801 S Oliver, Wichita, Kansas. Employees required to use full faced respirators to protect against overexposure to hexavalent chromium were allowed to wear respirators while not being clean shaven, preventing an effective seal.
