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 mcg/m3, calculated as an 8-hour TWA: (a) Super Stone Global Inc. located at 87 14th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215 Employees working in the warehouse, conducting the fabrication of stone products are exposed to the hazard of chemicals such as but not limited to respirable crystalline silica (RCS). Personal air sampling results revealed that employees are exposed to airborne respirable crystalline silica at 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) concentrations of 280.3 micrograms per cubic meter (ug/m3), approximately 5.61 times the permissible exposure limit of 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air, during stone grinding operations. The employer did not ensure that employees are not exposed to an airborne concentration of respirable crystalline silica in excess of 50 ug/m3 as an 8-hour TWA.
