Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 008B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1026(f)(1)(i): Feasible engineering controls and work practices were not instituted to reduce and maintain employee exposures to chromium (VI) at or below the permissible exposure limit: On March 7, 2017, the employer did not institute feasible engineering controls and work practices, such as but not limited to localized ventilation and work piece positioning, to reduce employee exposures below the permissible exposure limit in that a grinder was exposed to hexavalent chromium airborne concentration of 8.9 micrograms per cubic meter as an 8-hour time-weighted average, which is 1.78 times the permissible exposure limit of 5 micrograms per cubic meter as an 8-hour time-weighted average. The sample was collected over 469 minutes, with zero exposure assumed for the remaining 11 minutes.
