29 CFR 1910.1000(a)(2): Employee(s) were exposed to an airborne concentration of Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated (PNOR) Total dust listed in Table Z-1 in excess of the 8 hour Time Weighted Average concentration of 15 mg per cubic meter: a) On June 22, 2016, Employee A was batching bulk materials and packaging wet mortar and was exposed to Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated (PNOR) at an eight-hour time-weighted average level of 20.6 mg/m^3, approximately 1.37 times the limit of 15 mg/m^3. This limit has been established to prevent lung disease. The exposure is derived from one sample collected over a 423-minute period. Zero exposure is assumed for the remaining 57-minutes. b) On June 22, 2016, Employee B was batching bulk materials and mixing wet mortar and was exposed to Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated (PNOR) at an eight-hour time-weighted average level 16.7 mg/m^3, approximately 1.11 times the limit of 15 mg/m^3. This limit has been established to prevent lung disease. The exposure is derived from one sample collected over a 459-minute period. Zero exposure is assumed for the remaining 21-minutes.
