Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1000(a)(2): Employee(s) were exposed to an airborne concentration of carbon dioxide listed in Table Z-1 in excess of the 8 hour Time Weighted Average concentration of 5,000 parts per million: The employer is failing to protect employees from chemical exposure hazards associated with carbon dioxide (dry ice) in the fabrication area. This was most recently documented on June 9, 2020 at the worksite located at 1921 West US Highway 50, Lone Jack, Missouri. Employees were exposed to respiratory hazards associated with the exposure of carbon dioxide released by dry ice when employees were exposed to levels in excess of 5,000 ppm. a) An employee working in the fabrication area was exposed to an 8 hour time weighted average (TWA) level of 6,300 ppm, which is 1.257 times the OSHA permissible exposure level (PEL) of 5,000 ppm. b) An employee working in the fabrication area was exposed to an 8 hour time weighted average (TWA) level of 6,600 ppm, which is 1.322 times the OSHA permissible exposure level (PEL) of 5,000 ppm.
