Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1018(c): Employee(s) were exposed to inorganic arsenic at concentrations greater than ten micrograms per cubic meter of air, averaged over an 8-hour period: At 18594 Hwy KK in Boss, MO 65440 (Refinery) - On or about 27 March 2024, two employees of The Buick Resource Recycling Facility (BRRF) DBA Doe Run were exposed to inorganic arsenic levels at concentrations greater than ten micrograms per cubic meter of air, averaged over an 8-hour period. a) Employees working in the blast furnace area were exposed to inorganic arsenic levels that were equivalent to 240% of the allowable dose for an 8-hour-time weighted average (TWA). This exposure is equivalent to an 8-hour TWA of 24 micrograms per cubic meter of air, exceeding the OSHA PEL of 10 micrograms per cubic meter of air. The sampling time was 360 minutes. Zero exposures were assumed for all unsampled time periods. b) Employees working in the steel processing area were exposed to inorganic arsenic levels that were equivalent to 260% of the allowable dose for an 8-hour-time weighted average (TWA). This exposure is equivalent to an 8-hour TWA of 26 micrograms per cubic meter of air, exceeding the OSHA PEL of 10 micrograms per cubic meter of air. The sampling time was 255 minutes. Zero exposures were assumed for all unsampled time periods.
