Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1000(a)(2): Employee(s) were exposed to airborne concentrations of antimony as listed in Table Z-2 in excess of 0.50 mg/m3 as an 8-hour Time Weighted Average (TWA) concentration: a) Ribbon Blender Operation - On or about May 8, 2017, the employer failed to prevent employee exposure to an airborne concentration of antimony greater than an eight-hour average exposure of 0.50 mg/m3, the OSHA permissible exposure limit (PEL) for antimony. An employee operating the ribbon blender bagging machine was exposed to airborne antimony at an eight-hour time-weighted average (TWA) airborne concentration of 0.92 mg/m3, an exposure 1.84 times the OSHA PEL for antimony. The duration of employee air sampling was 363 minutes and zero was assumed for any unsampled time when calculating the eight-hour TWA. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, the employer must submit abatement certification, required within 10 days after abatement date. The certification shall include a statement that abatement is complete, date and method of abatement, and states employees and their representatives were informed of this abatement.
