Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001D Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1053(c): The employer did not ensure that no employee was exposed to an airborne concentration of respirable crystalline silica in excess of 0.05 mg/m3, calculated as an 8-hour TWA: On or about March 5, 2025, the operator performing abrasive blasting in the UpSetter Building was exposed to respirable crystalline silica at an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) of 0.4665 mg/m3 during the 402 minute sampling period. This approximately 9.33 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 0.05 mg/m3. Exposure calculations include a zero exposure increment for the 78 minutes not sampled.
