Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.134(c)(1): In any workplace where respirators are necessary to protect the health of the employee or whenever respirators are required by the employer, the employer shall establish and implement a written respiratory protection program with worksite-specific procedures. The program shall be updated as necessary to reflect those changes in workplace conditions that affect respirator use. The employer shall include in the program the following provisions of this section, as applicable: a. On or about May 27, 2015, in the Zorba area, two employees were exposed to cadmium at 1.2-1.6 times the permissible exposure limit and one employee exposed to lead at 1.3 times the permissible exposure limit and were provided N95 dust masks. The employer did not establish and implement an adequate written respiratory program that was appropriate for the employees' overexposure to lead and cadmium including, but not limited to, medical evaluation, fit testing and training.
