Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.134(d)(1)(iii): The employer did not identify and evaluate the respiratory hazard(s) in the workplace; including a reasonable estimate of employee exposures to respiratory hazards and identification of the contaminant's chemical state and physical form: The employer is failing to protect the employees from respiratory hazards. This was most recently demonstrated on or about September 4, 2019, when an employee working at the sewing position of the second line was exposed to an 8 hour time weighted average (TWA) level of 5.943 mg/m3 of Particulate not otherwise regulated (Respirable Fraction), which is 1.19 times the OSHA permissible exposure level (PEL) of 5.0 mg/m3. The employer had not conducted and or evaluated a reasonable estimate of the employees exposures while performing different tasks throughout the facility.
