Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 021A Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.134(d)(1)(iii): The employer did not identify and evaluate the respiratory hazard(s) in the workplace; this evaluation did not include a reasonable estimate of employee exposures to respiratory hazard(s) and an identification of the contaminant's chemical state and physical form. Where the employer cannot identify or reasonably estimate the employee exposure, the employer did not consider the atmosphere to be IDLH. In the mechanical room, employees were exposed to chemical hazards in that the employer did not select an appropriate respirator for the hazard when an employee entered the engine room to respond to a chlorine and sodium hydroxide leak.
