29 CFR 1910.1025(d)(2): An initial determination was not made to determine if any employee may be exposed to lead at or above the action level: a) On or about September 1, 2021, the senior operator on the production floor by the mills and ovens was not evaluated for occupational exposer to lead for the duration of their work. The employee was exposed to airborne lead at an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) of 67.01 micrograms per cubic meter of air, approximately 1.34 times the limit of 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air. The sample was collected during a 343 minute sampling period, and exposure calculations include a zero increment for the 137 minutes not sampled. b) On or about September 1, 2021, the operator on the production floor working the granulating oven and kiln was not evaluated for occupational expose to lead for the duration of their work. The employee was exposed to airborne lead at an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) of 106.09 micrograms per cubic meter of air, approximately 2.12 times the limit of 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air. The sample was collected during a 339 minute sampling period, and exposure calculations include a zero increment for the 141 minutes not sampled.
