Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002C Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1027(c): Employee(s) were exposed to cadmium at concentrations greater than 5.0 micrograms per cubic meter of air, calculated as an eight-hour time-weighted average (TWA): The employer is failing to ensure that employee exposure to airborne concentrations of cadmium does not exceed 5.0 micrograms per cubic meter (ug/m3) of air, as an 8 hour time-weighted average (TWA). At the Reclaim/Deblocking station an employee engaged in melting a lead/cadmium/bismuth alloy was exposed to airborne cadmium at an 8 hour TWA of 18.3 ug/m3, approximately 3.66 times the PEL of 5.0 ug/m3. Sampling was performed for 438 minutes and zero exposure is assumed for the 42 minutes not sampled.
