Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.134(a)(1): In the control of those occupational diseases caused by breathing air contaminated with harmful dusts, fogs, fumes, mists, gases, smokes, sprays, or vapors, the primary objective shall be to prevent atmospheric contamination. This shall be accomplished as far as feasible by accepted engineering control measures (for example, enclosure or confinement of the operation, general and local ventilation, and substitution of less toxic materials). When effective engineering controls are not feasible, or while they are being instituted, appropriate respirators shall be used pursuant to this section. a) On October 14, 2016, the Line #1 Machine #3 Operator was exposed to 160% of OSHA's Permissible Exposure Limit for Particulates Otherwise Not Regulated (Total Dust) and was not required to wear respiratory protection.
