Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.94(a)(2)(ii): The concentration of respirable dust or fume in the breathing zone of the abrasive-blasting operator or any other worker was not kept below the levels specified in 1910.1000: On or about March 5, 2025, the operator performing abrasive blasting in the Upsetter Building was exposed to respirable dust at an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) of 30.40 mg/m3 during the 402 minute sampling period. This is approximately 6.08 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 5.0 mg/m3. Exposure calculations include a zero exposure increment for the 78 minutes not sampled.
