Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1026(f)(1)(i): Where feasible engineering and work practice controls would not reduce employee exposure to chromium (VI) to or below the permissible exposure limit, the employer did not apply these feasible controls to reduce employee exposures to the lowest chromium (VI) levels achievable: On or about February 24, 2023, a welder in the MDS area of the SST department was exposed to an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) of 8.6 �g/m3 for chromium (VI), approximately 1.725 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 5.0 �g/m3. The exposure level was derived from a sample collected over a 414 minutes sampling period with zero exposure assumed for the unsampled period of 66 minutes. Engineering and administrative controls were not implemented to reduce exposures below the PEL.
