Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002B Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.1026(f)(1)(ii): Painting of aircraft or large aircraft parts was performed; however, the employer did not use feasible engineering and work practice controls to reduce and maintain employee exposures to chromium (VI) to or below 25 micrograms per cubic meter of air: The employer is failing to prevent employee exposure to hexavalent chromium hazards. The condition was most recently observed on December 21st, 2018, at 3801 S Oliver, Wichita, Kansas. An employee engaged in painting activities in section ACC 480/490 were not provided feasible engineering controls and work practices to reduce employee exposure to the lowest level achievable. Employees were exposed to hexavalent chromium hazards in that the employees had an 8 hour time weighted average (TWA) of: a.) 104.31 ug/m3, which is about 4 times the calculated OSHA permissible exposure level (PEL) of 25.0 ug/m3 b.) 220.99 ug/m3, which is about 8 times the calculated OSHA permissible exposure level (PEL) of 25.0 ug/m3.
