Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 018 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1026(k)(1)(i)(A): The employer did not make medical surveillance available for all employees who were or could be occupationally exposed to chromium (VI) at or above the action level for 30 or more days a year: The employer does not make medical surveillance available for all employees who are or could be occupationally exposed to hexavalent chromium at or above the action level for 30 or more days a year. This violation occurred on or about August 28, 2014, at times prior thereto and at times thereafter, in the chrome plating area; where employees, who were occupationally exposed to hexavalent chromium, did not receive medical surveillance. A chromium 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.
