29 CFR 1910.1000(a)(2):Other substances -- 8-hour Time Weighted Averages. An employee's exposure to any substance in Table Z-1, the exposure limit of which is not preceded by a "C", shall not exceed the 8-hour Time Weighted Average given for that substance any 8-hour work shift of a 40-hour work week. a) Lowe' s retail store, 265 McLean Blvd., Paterson, NJ: On or about March 14, 2023, an employee used gas-powered saws to cut concrete. The work was done inside a plastic sheeting enclosure the employees built for the job. The employees were exposed to carbon monoxide from the exhaust generated by the gasoline powered walk-behind saw and the gasoline-powered cut off saw. The employees' carbon monoxide exposure level for the employees was determined to be 88 ppm (parts per million) and 82 ppm, respectively, as an 8-Hour Time Weighted Average (TWA), which exceeded the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit of 50 ppm.
