Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1000(e): Feasible administrative or engineering controls were not determined and implemented to achieve compliance with the limits prescribed in 29 CFR 1910.1000(a) through (d): a) On or about August 30, 2023 at the facility's bagging production line, a line production employee was exposed to total dust at a time weighted average of 39.18 mg/m3 while filling bags of soil, which is approximately 2.6 times the permissible exposure limit for total dust of 15 mg/m3. The exposure level was calculated based on samples collected over a 390-minute period; the calculations include a zero value for the 90 minutes not sampled.
