Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 020A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1000(a)(2): Employee(s) were exposed to an airborne concentration of particulates not otherwise regulated (PNOR) listed in Table Z-1 in excess of the 8 hour Time Weighted Average concentration of 15 mg/M3: (a) In the lower commodity/mixing room, on or about September 9, 2015, an employee who was operating the skid steer/cat transporting feed products was exposed to particulates (total dust) at an 8 hour Time-Weighted Average level of 46.5 mg/m3, which is approximately 3 times the Permissible Exposure Limit for total dust of 15 mg/m3. The exposure level is derived from a sample collected over a 455 minute sampling period; the calculations include a zero value for the 25 minutes not sampled. (b) In the truck unloading areas, on or about September 9, 2015, an employee who was shoveling feed products was exposed to particulates (total dust) at an 8 hour Time-Weighted Average level of 18.4 mg/m3, which is approximately 1.2 times the Permissible Exposure Limit for total dust of 15 mg/m3. The exposure level is derived from a sample collected over a 465 minute sampling period; the calculations include a zero value for the 15 minutes not sampled.
