Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1025(e)(1)(i):For any employees exposed to lead above the permissible exposure limit for more than 30 days per year the employer did not implement engineering and work practice controls (including administrative controls) were not implemented to reduce and maintain employee exposure to lead : a) Repro/Engineered Resin Department - On or about 10/27/22, a Material Handler was exposed to 50 ug/m3 of lead during the 506 minute sampling period (a zero exposure was assumed for the 214 minutes not sampled). The employees work 12 hour shifts and the reduced PEL is 33.33 ug/m3. This is exposure is 1.5 times the reduced PEL of 33.33 ug/m3. Engineering and work practice controls were not implemented. STEP 1: EFFECTIVE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION SHALL BE PROVIDED AND USED BY EXPOSED EMPLOYEES AS AN INTERIM PROTECTIVE MEASURE UNTIL FEASIBLE ENGINEERING AND/OR ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS CAN BE IMPLEMENTED, OR WHENEVER SUCH CONTROLS FAIL TO REDUCE EMPLOYEE EXPOSURE TO WITHIN PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMITS. STEP 2: SUBMIT TO THE AREA DIRECTOR A WRITTEN, DETAILED PLAN OF ABATEMENT OUTLINING A SCHEDULE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ENGINEERING AND/OR ADMINISTRATIVE MEASURES TO CONTROL EMPLOYEE EXPOSURE TO HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES AS REFERENCED IN THIS CITATION. THIS PLAN SHALL INCLUDE, AT A MINIMUM, TARGET DATES FOR THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS WHICH MUST BE CONSISTENT WITH THE ABATEMENT DATES REQUIRED BY THIS CITATION: (1) EVALUATION OF ENGINEERING/ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROL OPTIONS; (2) SELECTION OF OPTIMUM CONTROL METHODS AND COMPLETION OF DESIGN; (3) PROCUREMENT, INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF SELECTED CONTROL MEASURES; AND (4) TESTING AND ACCEPTANCE OR MODIFICATION/REDESIGN OF CONTROLS. NOTE: ALL PROPOSED CONTROL MEASURES SHALL BE APPROVED FOR EACH PARTICULAR USE BY A COMPETENT INDUSTRIAL HYGIENIST OR OTHER TECHNICALLY QUALIFIED PERSON. THIRTY (30) DAY PROGRESS REPORTS ARE REQUIRED DURING THE ABATEMENT PERIOD. STEP 3: ABATEMENT SHALL HAVE BEEN COMPLETED BY THE IMPLEMENTATION OF FEASIBLE ENGINEERING AND/OR ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS UPON VERIFICATION OF THEIR EFFECTIVENESS IN ACHIEVING COMPLIANCE.
