Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1053(e)(2)(i): The employer did not demarcate regulated areas from the rest of the workplace in a manner that minimized the number of employees exposed to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) within the regulated area: In the main foundry area 54 Western Avenue, West Springfield, MA: On and before October 4, 2023, the employer did not demarcate the regulated area where there is a known overexposure to RCS. Without demarcation, administration and other employees are potentially exposed to RCS without being aware of its presence. Personal air sampling results revealed that an employee was exposed to airborne RCS at an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) concentration of 77.24 ug/m3 during sand core molding operations.
