Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.1025(e)(1)(i): 29 CFR 1910.1025(e)(1)(i): The employer did not use engineering and/or work practice controls to reduce exposures to the lowest feasible level for any employees exposed to lead above the permissible exposure limit for more than 30 days per year where engineering and work practice controls (including administrative controls) were feasible but did not reduce the employees' exposure to or below the permissible exposure limit: 900 Jeffco Executive Drive, Imperial: The employer is exposing employees to hazardous airborne levels of lead where employees are permitted to work where there are no engineering or work practice controls to lower the exposure levels to below the air borne lead levels of 50.00 micrograms of lead per cubic meter of air. On 11/07/2017 an employee who was the "trainer" was exposed to airborne lead at twice the permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 50 micrograms of lead per cubic meter of air as determined by personal air sampling conducted by OSHA. The exposure level obtained was 110 micrograms of air borne lead per cubic meter of air calculated on 8-hour time weighted average basis. Sampling was conducted for 306 minutes. The employer did not implement engineering or work practice controls to reduce the exposure levels below the PEL.
