Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.134(g)(2)(i): When there was a change in the work area, conditions, or degree of employee exposure or stress that may effect respirator effectiveness, the employer did not reevaluate the continued effectiveness of the respirator: At the worksite located at 4722 Pear Street St., St. Joseph, MO: Employees were exposed to ingestion and inhalation hazards from lead. Employees are required to wear respiratory protection in the work area past the changeout area. Some employees are issued PAPRs (powered air purifying respirators). Batteries of these PAPRs (manufactured by 3M) are known by the company to stop functioning while in use by employees, specifically in the work area. Employees must lift PAPR hoods after the battery ceases functioning to be able to breathe due to lack of air; lifting the hood further leads to exposure to airborne lead.
