Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003C Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.134(f)(2): Employee(s) using a tight-fitting facepiece respirator were not annually fit tested: The employer is failing to protect employees from potential respiratory hazards associated with employees using N95 respirators while working in an inadequately ventilated area where dust is present without having been annually fit tested. This was most recently evident during the inspection of the facility located at 4444 S. 76th Circle, Omaha, NE 68127, where the employer requires employees to wear N95 respirators while operating equipment and performing their duties on the bagging, mixing, micro picking and label preparation lines; without having the employees fit tested both initially and annually thereafter to ensure that the respirators are protecting the employee as designed.
