Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 007A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1025(i)(3)(ii): Shower facilities, in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.141(d)(3), were not provided for employee(s) exposed to lead in excess of the permissible exposure limit (PEL), without regard to the use of respirators: (a) Martin Foundry Company, Inc. is failing to protect employees from lead concentrations greater than the permissible exposure level of fifty micrograms per cubic meter, in that shower facilities were not provided. This was most recently documented in the following instances: (1) On or about April 24, 2015, an employee was exposed to an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) level of 122 micrograms per cubic meter of lead, which is 2.44 times the OSHA permissible exposure level (PEL) of 50 micrograms per cubic meter, while performing red brass grinding operations. (2) On or about April 24, 2015, an employee was exposed to an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) level of 85 micrograms per cubic meter of lead, which is 1.69 times the OSHA permissible exposure level (PEL) of 50 micrograms per cubic meter, while performing red brass melting and pouring operations. (3) On or about April 24, 2015, an employee was exposed to an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) level of 64 micrograms per cubic meter of lead, which is 1.3 times the OSHA permissible exposure level (PEL) of 50 micrograms per cubic meter, while performing red brass melting and pouring operations.
