Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003A Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.62(c)(1): Employee(s) were exposed to lead at concentrations greater than fifty micrograms per cubic meter of air averaged over an eight-hour period: a) On August 2, 2017 an employee of American Demolition Corporation performing torch cutting was exposed to airborne levels of lead at an 8-hour TWA level of 120 micrograms/m3, which is approximately 2.4 times the OSHA 8-hour TWA Permissible Exposure Limit of 50 micrograms/m3. This limit is established to prevent lead poisoning. The exposure level was derived from a sample taken over a 385 minute period during one shift on August 2, 2017. Zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled period of 95 minutes.
