Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 006A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.134(f)(2): The employer did not ensure that all employees using tight-fitting facepiece respirator were fit tested prior to initial use of the respirator, and/or whenever a different respirator facepiece (size, style, model or make) was used, and at least annually thereafter. On or about 13 October 2016, employees were provided half face, tight-fitting respirators to perform sanding and sawing operations in the fabrication department without the employer fit testing prior to them working, exposing employees to an inhalation hazard.
