29 CFR 1910.1025(i)(1): The employer did not ensure that food or beverage was not present, or consumed; tobacco products were not present, or used and cosmetics were not applied in areas where employees were exposed to lead in excess of the permissible exposure limit: a. On or about February 24, 2017, an employee working on the cast floor in CBCF was exposed to lead at an 8-hour Time-Weighted Average (TWA) of 77.6 µg/m3 during the 405 minute sampling period. This is 1.553 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 50 µg/m3. Exposure calculations include a zero exposure increment for the 75 minutes not sampled. b. On or about February 24, 2017, an employee working on the cast floor in CBCF was exposed to lead at an 8-hour Time-Weighted Average (TWA) of 84.38 µg/m3 during the 405 minute sampling period. This is 1.688 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 50 µg/m3. Exposure calculations include a zero exposure increment for the 75 minutes not sampled. c. On or about February 24, 2017, an employee working on ladle deck in CBCF was exposed to lead at an 8-hour Time-Weighted Average (TWA) of 70.18µg/m3 during the 401 minute sampling period. This is 1.404 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 50 µg/m3. Exposure calculations include a zero exposure increment for the 79 minutes not sampled. d. On or about February 24, 2017, an employee working on ladle deck in CBCF was exposed to lead at an 8-hour Time-Weighted Average (TWA) of 71.36µg/m3 during the 403 minute sampling period. This is 1.427 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 50 µg/m3. Exposure calculations include a zero exposure increment for the 77 minutes not sampled. e. On or about February 24, 2017, an employee working as the VTD helper was exposed to lead at an 8-hour Time-Weighted Average (TWA) of 60.32 µg/m3 during the 381 minute sampling period. This is 1.207 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 50 µg/m3. Exposure calculations include a zero exposure increment for the 99 minutes not sampled. The employer permitted employees working in the cast floor and ladle deck pulpits to consume food and beverages while exposed to lead above the permissible exposure limit of 50 µg/m3.
