Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.55(a)(2): Other substances-8-hour Time Weighted Averages. An employee's exposure, as determined from breathing-zone air samples, to any substance in Table 1 or 2 of this section with a permissible exposure limit not preceded by (C) must not exceed the limit specified for that substance measured as an 8-hour time-weighted average in any work shift. At the worksite located at 1300 Maria Drive, Stevens Point, Wisconsin; an employee operating a Husqvarna gas-powered concrete saw (Type FS400LV, Serial No. 20212201779) in the Dining/Event Space portion of the basement was exposed to Carbon Monoxide at a level of 72 ppm as an 8-hour Time Weighted Average on July 13, 2023, approximately 1.44 times the OSHA PEL of 50 ppm. This exposure was determined by Carboxyhemoglobin calculations over 300 minutes, with zero exposure being assumed for the remaining 180 minutes of an 8-hour work shift.
