29 CFR 1910.134(h)(2)(i):Respirators were not stored to protect them from damage, contamination, dust, sunlight, extreme temperatures, excessive moisture, and damaging chemicals or were not packed or stored to prevent deformation of the facepiece and exhalation valve: (a) The employer is not adequately protecting employees from exposure to health effects associated with hazardous chemicals such as irritation of the eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs. This was most recently documented on April 12, 2023, at the worksite located at 299 Extension Street, Verona, Missouri. Two employees' tight-fitting full-face respirators were hung up in a bag in V-25 against the wall where it was exposed to chemicals and deformation of the facepiece.
