Wherever the feasible engineering controls and work practices which can be instituted are not sufficient to reduce employee exposure to or below the 8-TWA PEL or STEL, the employer shall use them to reduce employee exposure to the lowest levels achievable by these controls and shall supplement them by the use of respiratory protection that complies with the requirements of paragraph (g) of this section: (a) The employer did not implement engineering or work practice controls to reduce methylene chloride exposure below the short term exposure limit (STEL) for employees using the dip tank.
