This violation occurred on April 5, 2016 when an employee manufacturing energetic devices was exposed to lead at a 10-hour TWA of 100.8 ug/m3 of air, approximately 2.52 times the permissible exposure limit of 40 ug/m3. Sampling was performed for 543 minutes during one shift. Zero exposure was assumed for the 57 minute period not sampled.

This violation occurred on April 5, 2016 when an employee manufacturing energetic devices was exposed to lead at a 10-hour TWA of 53.6 ug/m3 of air, approximately 1.34 times the permissible exposure limit of 40 ug/m3. Sampling was performed for 543 minutes during one shift. Zero exposure was assumed for the 57 minute period not sampled.
