Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1026(c): Employees were exposed to an airborne concentration of chromium (VI) which exceeded 5 micrograms per cubic meter of air, as an 8-hour time-weighted average: On or about May 4, 2017 and times prior thereto, at Production Tolling Plant, employees were exposed to airborne concentrations of chromium (VI) at an exposure level which exceeded OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit for an 8-hour time-weighted average as follows: Job Title Substance Name Exposure Level Units Type OSHA PEL Units (TWA) Tolling Production Op._02072017 Chromium (VI) 45.6000 µg/m3 TWA 5.0 µg/m3 Tolling Production Op._05042017 Chromium (VI) 110.0000 µg/m3 TWA 5.0 µg/m3 Compliance/Noncompliance Method: Tolling Production Op._02072017: Step 1) Exposure Severity: Y=46.0000/5.0=9.20000 Step 2) Calculate confidence limits: a: UCL(95%) = 9.20000 + 0.09340 = 9.29340 Because the UCL(95%) is greater than 1.0, it is classified as possible exposure. b: LCL(95%)=9.20000 - 0.09340 = 9.10660 Because the LCL(95%) is greater than 1.0, a violation exists. Step 3) Classify the exposure: Because LCL(95%) is greater than 1.0, a violation exists. Tolling Production Op._05042017: Step 1) Exposure Severity: Y=110.000/5.0=22.00000 Step 2) Calculate confidence limits: a: UCL(95%) = 22.00000 + 0.09340 = 22.09520 Because the UCL(95%) is greater than 1.0, it is classified as possible exposure. b: LCL(95%)=22.00000 - 0.09340 = 21.90660 Because the LCL(95%) is greater than 1.0, a violation exists. Step 3) Classify the exposure: Because LCL(95%) is greater than 1.0, a violation exists.
