29 CFR 1910.1000(e):Feasible administrative or engineering controls were not determined and implemented to achieve compliance with the limits prescribed in 29 CFR 1910.1000(a) through (d): a) Production Area; the employer exposed an employee to an 8-hour Time-Weighted Average (TWA) concentration of respirable Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated (PNOR) of 11.0 milligrams per cubic meter of air (mg/m3), 2.122 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 5 mg/m3. The sampling was performed during one shift on December 19, 2023, for 480 minutes. The employer did not ensure feasible engineering and administrative controls reduced employee's exposure below the PEL. b) Production Area; the employer exposed an employee to an 8-hour Time-Weighted Average (TWA) concentration of Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated (PNOR) total dust of 50.0 milligrams per cubic meter of air (mg/m3), 3.313 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 15 mg/m3. The sampling was performed during one shift on December 19, 2023, for 480 minutes.
