Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1026(f)(1)(i):Feasible engineering controls and work practices were not instituted to reduce and maintain employee exposures to chromium (VI) at or below the permissible exposure limit. Building 593 On or about January 03, 2022, employees performing hand electrostatic spray-painting operations on small aircraft parts were overexposed to chromium (VI) at 23.3 micrograms per cubic meter of air, which was above the permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 5 micrograms per cubic meter of air. The employer did not institute engineering controls and work practices that would have reduced and maintained employee exposures to chromium (VI) at or below the PEL. Employees were provided with 3M Half Facepiece Reusable Respirators (6300) that had 3M Organic Vapor/Acid Gas Cartridge (6003) attachments as a means to control for these overexposures.
