Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.55(a): Employee(s) were exposed to material(s) at concentrations above those specified in the Threshold Limit Values of Airborne Contaminants for 1970 of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists: a) O'Neill Masonry - Employee exposure to silica exceeded the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL). Employee exposure monitoring conducted on 10/2/13 showed that an employee grinding out joints was exposed to silica at an 8-hour Time Weighted Average (TWA) of 22 mppcf, approximately 1.3 times the Permissible Exposure Limit of 16.7 mppcf as an 8-hour time weighted average. Sampling was conducted for 90 minutes and a zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled portion of the 8-hour shift. Observed on or about 10/2/14.
