Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1053(c): The employer did not ensure that no employee was exposed to an airborne concentration of respirable crystalline silica in excess of 50 ug/m3, calculated as an 8-hour TWA: (a) A grinder employee was performing hand grinding operations and was exposed to respirable crystalline silica at an eight-hour time-weighted average of 322.5 micrograms per cubic meter of air, approximately 6.45 times 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air. This limit is established to prevent silicosis and lung cancer. Sampling was performed for 430 minutes. Zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled time of 50 minutes.
