Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.1000(a)(2): Employees were exposed to an airborne concentration of carbon monoxide (CO), listed in Table Z-1, in excess of the 8-hour Time Weighted Average (TWA) concentration of 50 Parts Per Million (PPM): (a) On or about November 26, 2014: A Final Assembly employee was exposed to 236.6 parts carbon monoxide per million parts of air as determined by the employee's Carboxyhemoglobin (%COHb) medical blood gas measurement following the employee's exposures to Carbon Monoxide. (b) On or about November 26, 2014: A Final Assembly employee was exposed to 295.5 parts carbon monoxide per million parts of air as determined by the employee's Carboxyhemoglobin (%COHb) medical blood gas measurement following the employee's exposure to Carbon Monoxide. (c) On or about November 26, 2014: A Fabricator/Welder employee was exposed to 227.2 parts carbon monoxide per million parts of air as determined by the employee's Carboxyhemoglobin (%COHb) medical blood gas measurement following the employee's exposures to Carbon Monoxide. (d) On or about November 26, 2014: A Fabricator/Welder employee was exposed to 205.1 parts carbon monoxide per million parts of air as determined by the employee's Carboxyhemoglobin (%COHb) medical blood gas measurement following the employee's exposure to Carbon Monoxide. (e) On or about November 26, 2014: A Fabricator/Welder employee was exposed to 184.9 parts carbon monoxide per million parts of air as determined by the employee's Carboxyhemoglobin (%COHb) medical blood gas measurement following the employee's exposures to Carbon Monoxide. (f) On or about November 26, 2014: A Fabricator/Welder employee was exposed to 222.1 parts carbon monoxide per million parts of air as determined by the employee's Carboxyhemoglobin (%COHb) medical blood gas measurement following the employee's exposure to Carbon Monoxide. (g) On or about November 26, 2014: A Parts Room employee was exposed to 169.4 parts carbon monoxide per million parts of air as determined by the employee's Carboxyhemoglobin (%COHb) medical blood gas measurement following the employee's exposures to Carbon Monoxide. (h) On or about November 26, 2014: A Fabricator/Welder employee was exposed to 169.5 parts carbon monoxide per million parts of air as determined by the employee's Carboxyhemoglobin (%COHb) medical blood gas measurement following the employee's exposure to Carbon Monoxide. (i) On or about November 26, 2014: A Final Assembly/Plumbing employee was exposed to 306.1 parts carbon monoxide per million parts of air as determined by the employee's Carboxyhemoglobin (%COHb) medical blood gas measurement following the employee's exposures to Carbon Monoxide. (j) On or about November 26, 2014: A Parts Room employee was exposed to 201.7 parts carbon monoxide per million parts of air as determined by the employee's Carboxyhemoglobin (%COHb) medical blood gas measurement following the employee's exposure to Carbon Monoxide. (k) On or about November 26, 2014: An employee in Quality Control was exposed to 170.8 parts carbon monoxide per million parts of air as determined by the employee's Carboxyhemoglobin (%COHb) medical blood gas measurement following the employee's exposures to Carbon Monoxide. (l) On or about November 26, 2014: A Fabricator/Welder employee was exposed to 262.3 parts carbon monoxide per million parts of air as determined by the employee's Carboxyhemoglobin (%COHb) medical blood gas measurement following the employee's exposure to Carbon Monoxide. (m) On or about November 26, 2014: A Fabricator/Welder employee was exposed to 196.5 parts carbon monoxide per million parts of air as determined by the employee's Carboxyhemoglobin (%COHb) medical blood gas measurement following the employee's exposures to Carbon Monoxide. (n) On or about November 26, 2014: A Final Assembly employee was exposed to 261.7 parts carbon monoxide per million parts of air as determined by the employee's Carboxyhemoglobin (%COHb) medical blood gas measurement following the employee's exposures to Carbon Monoxide. (o) On or about November 26, 2014: A Standard Production Supervisor was exposed to 171.6 parts carbon monoxide per million parts of air as determined by the employee's Carboxyhemoglobin (%COHb) medical blood gas measurement following the employee's exposure to Carbon Monoxide. To abate this violation, the employer must assure that no employee is exposed to carbon monoxide at or above 50 parts per million (PPM) without first determining and implementing feasible engineering or administrative controls. When such controls are not feasible to achieve full compliance, protective equipment must be used to keep the exposure of employees to carbon monoxide below 50 PPM. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, within ten (10) days of the abatement date, the employer must submit documents showing that it is in compliance with the standard, including the steps it is taking to assure each employee is protected from carbon monoxide exposure 50 PPM or greater.
