Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.134(d)(1)(i): The employer did not select and provide an appropriate respirator based on the respiratory hazard(s) to which the worker was exposed: (a) On or about October 12, 2023, in mixing room 4, an employee was exposed to an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) of 175 milligrams per meter cubed (mg/m3) of particulates not otherwise regulated (total dust), approximately 11.7 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 15 mg/m3. The employer failed to select and provide appropriate respiratory protection when the exposed employee was offered only a filtering face piece with an assigned protection factor of 10 times the PEL. An exposure greater than 10 times the PEL required the selection and use of respiratory protection with an assigned protection factor greater than 10 times the PEL.
