Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 011A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1000(a)(2): Employee(s) were exposed to an airborne concentration of particulates not otherwise regulated listed in Table Z-1 in excess of the 8 hour Time Weighted Average concentration of 5 milligrams per cubic meter of air. a. On or about April 7, 2021, and at times prior, at the powder spray booth, an employee was exposed to particulates not otherwise regulated (Respirable Fraction), in excess of 5 milligrams per cubic meter of air, during manual electrostatic powder spraying of truck beds with Truck Bed Black. An employee's personal 8-hour time-weighted average (8-Hr TWA) exposure to particulates not otherwise regulated (Respirable Fraction) was 12.25 mg/m3. This exceeded the OSHA 8-Hr TWA PEL of 5 mg/m3 for particulates not otherwise regulated (Respirable Fraction) by 2.4 times. b. On or about April 7, 2021, in the powder spray booth, employees were exposed to particulates not otherwise regulated (Total Dust) in excess of 15 milligrams per cubic meter of air during manual electrostatic powder spraying of truck beds with Truck Bed Black. An employee's personal 8-hour time-weighted average (8-Hr TWA) exposure to particulates not otherwise regulated (Total Dust) was 225.8 mg/m3. This exceeded the OSHA 8-Hr TWA PEL of 15 mg/m3 for particulates not otherwise regulated (Total Dust) by 15 times. c. On or about April 7, 2021, in the powder spray booth, employees were exposed to particulates not otherwise regulated (Total Dust) in excess of 15 milligrams per cubic meter of air during manual electrostatic powder spraying of truck beds with Truck Bed Black. An employee's personal 8-hour time-weighted average (8-Hr TWA) exposure to particulates not otherwise regulated (Total Dust) was 386.4 mg/m3. This exceeded the OSHA 8-Hr TWA PEL of 15 mg/m3 for particulates not otherwise regulated (Total Dust) by 26 times. d. On or about April 7, 2021, in the powder spray booth, employees were exposed to particulates not otherwise regulated (Total Dust) in excess of 15 milligrams per cubic meter of air during manual electrostatic powder spraying of truck beds with Truck Bed Black. An employee's personal 8-hour time-weighted average (8-Hr TWA) exposure to particulates not otherwise regulated (Total Dust) was 120.9 mg/m3. This exceeded the OSHA 8-Hr TWA PEL of 15 mg/m3 for particulates not otherwise regulated (Total Dust) by 8 times.
