Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 015B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1025(c)(2): Employee(s) were exposed to lead for more than eight -8 hours during the work day in excess of the reduced permissible exposure limit: On or about August 8th, 2019, the employer did not ensure that employees working an extended workshift were not exposed to lead at concentrations greater than the reduced permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 40 micrograms per cubic meter of air (ug/cm3) averaged over a ten-hour period: An employee in the Hydron Department was exposed to a 10-hour time-weighted average of 275 ug/m3 over the 508 minute sampling period, which is approximately 6.9 times the reduced PEL of 40 ug/m3. The employee was charging a kettle in the Hydron Department, and casting lead billets at the Hydron machine. The reduced PEL was calculated in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.1025(c)(2), in which the maximum PEL, in ug/m3, is equal to 400 divided by the number of hours worked in the day.
