Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 011A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1053(c): The employer did not ensure that no employee was exposed to an airborne concentration of respirable crystalline silica in excess of 50 ug/m3, calculated as an 8-hour TWA: (a) Main building, stone fabrication area - An employee polishing stone products on June 22, 2021, was exposed to an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) airborne respirable crystalline silica concentration of 62.89 ug/m3, approximately 1.26 times the OSHA permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 50 ug/m3. The exposure was established from a sample collected over a period of 387 minutes. Zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled time period of 93 minutes. The limit is established to prevent the onset of health effects including silicosis, lung cancer, other non-malignant respiratory diseases, kidney disease, immunological effects, and activation of latent tuberculosis (TB) infections.
