Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 008A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1026(c): Employees were exposed to an airborne concentration of chromium (VI) which exceeded 5 micrograms per cubic meter of air, as an 8-hour time-weighted average: On January 24, 2017 an employee in the Auger Assembly Area was welding stainless and was exposed to hexavalent chromium at an eight-hour time-weighted average level of 5.68 ug/m^3, approximately 1.14 times the limit of 5 ug/m^3. This limit has been established to prevent cancer. The exposure is derived from one sample collected over a 290-minute period. Zero exposure is assumed for the remaining 190-minutes.
