Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 005 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.1101(i)(1): General. The employer shall provide and require the use of protective clothing, such as coveralls or similar whole-body clothing, head coverings, gloves, and foot coverings for any employee exposed to airborne concentrations of asbestos that exceed the TWA and/or excursion limit prescribed in paragraph (c) of this section, or for which a required negative exposure assessment is not produced, or for any employee performing Class I operations which involve the removal of over 25 linear or 10 square feet of TSI or surfacing ACM and PACM. a. On or about June 1, 2024, at the gymnasium entry, employees were required to perform Class II asbestos operations, removing floor tile with mastic that contained 3% of chrysotile asbestos. The employer did not have a negative exposure assessment and failed to provide and require the use of protective clothing. Employees were thereby exposed to the hazards associated with asbestos.
