Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1000(a)(2): Employee(s) were exposed to an airborne concentration of Particulate not otherwise regulated (Respirable Fraction) listed in Table Z-1 in excess of the 8 hour Time Weighted Average concentration of 5.0 mg/m3: The employer is failing to protect the employees from respiratory hazards. This was most recently demonstrated on or about September 4, 2019, at a facility located at Shannon County Road 341, Summersville MO. An employee working at the sewing position of the second line was exposed to an 8 hour time weighted average (TWA) level of 5.943 mg/m3 of Particulate not otherwise regulated (Respirable Fraction), which is 1.19 times the OSHA permissible exposure level (PEL) of 5.0 mg/m3. The employer did not take the necessary precautions to protect their employees from respiratory hazards and to prevent overexposures throughout the workplace by conducting personal air monitoring for each specific job task.
