Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 010 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: The employer does not ensure that an employee's exposure to hexavalent chromium does not exceed 5 micrograms per cubic meter of air, as an eight-hour time-weighted average. This violation occurred on or about August 28, 2014, at times prior thereto and at times thereafter in the chrome plating area; where a chrome plater was exposed to hexavalent chromium at an eight-hour time-weighted average of 6.8 µg/m3 of air, approximately 1.36 times the OSHA PEL of 5.0 µg/m3.
