29 CFR 1910.1025(i)(3)(iii): The employer did not ensure that employees who were required to shower per 29 CFR 1910.1025(i)(3)i) did not leave the workplace wearing any clothing or equipment worn during the work shift: On or about February 1, 2019, and at times prior thereto and times thereafter, the employer allows employees with exposure to airborne lead above the PEL to leave the workplace wearing clothing worn during the work shift 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.
