29 CFR 1910.1025(j)(3)(i)(B): Medical examinations and consultations for lead were not performed prior to assignment for each employee being assigned for the first time to an area in which airborne concentrations of lead are at or above the action level: On or about February 1, 2019, and at times prior thereto and times thereafter, the employer did not make available medical examinations to employees exposed to lead at or above the action level of airborne concentrations of lead exposing employees to hazards associated with exposure to lead. a) Warehouse worker(s) were exposed to lead at an 8-hour Time Weighted Average (TWA) up to 0.8178 milligrams per cubic meter of air, which is 16.4 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air. The exposure level is derived from a sample collected over a 390-minute period and the calculations include a zero value for the 90 minutes not sampled. b) Warehouse worker(s) were exposed to lead at an 8-hour Time Weighted Average (TWA) up to 0.3222 milligrams per cubic meter of air, which is 6.4 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air. The exposure level is derived from a sample collected over a 377-minute period and the calculations include a zero value for the 103 minutes not sampled. c) Warehouse worker(s) were exposed to lead at an 8-hour Time Weighted Average (TWA) up to 0.2212 milligrams per cubic meter of air, which is 4.4 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air. The exposure level is derived from a sample collected over a 387-minute period and the calculations include a zero value for the 93 minutes not sampled. d) Warehouse worker(s) were exposed to lead at an 8-hour Time Weighted Average (TWA) up to 0.8904 milligrams per cubic meter of air, which is 17.8 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air. The exposure level is derived from a sample collected over a 390-minute period and the calculations include a zero value for the 90 minutes not sampled. e) Warehouse worker(s) were exposed to lead at an 8-hour Time Weighted Average (TWA) up to 0.5268 milligrams per cubic meter of air, which is 10.5 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air. The exposure level is derived from a sample collected over a 372-minute period and the calculations include a zero value for the 108 minutes not sampled. f) Warehouse worker(s) were exposed to lead at an 8-hour Time Weighted Average (TWA) up to 1.0269 milligrams per cubic meter of air, which is 20.5 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air. The exposure level is derived from a sample collected over a 365-minute period and the calculations include a zero value for the 115 minutes not sampled. g) Warehouse worker(s) were exposed to lead at an 8-hour Time Weighted Average (TWA) up to 0.2313 milligrams per cubic meter of air, which is 4.6 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air. The exposure level is derived from a sample collected over a 367-minute period and the calculations include a zero value for the 113 minutes not sampled. h) Warehouse worker(s) were exposed to lead at an 8-hour Time Weighted Average (TWA) up to 0.6829 milligrams per cubic meter of air, which is 13.7 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air. The exposure level is derived from a sample collected over a 370-minute period and the calculations include a zero value for the 110 minutes not sampled. i) Warehouse worker(s) were exposed to lead at an 8-hour Time Weighted Average (TWA) up to 0.4087 milligrams per cubic meter of air, which is 8.2 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air. The exposure level is derived from a sample collected over a 338-minute period and the calculations include a zero value for the 142 minutes not sampled.
