Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1025(c)(2): Where an employee's exposure to lead exceeded 8 hours in any work day, the permissible exposure limit (PEL), as a time-weighted average, was not reduced in accordance with the formula: Maximum permissible limit (in µg/m³)=400÷hours worked in the day. The employer is failing to prevent employee overexposure to airborne lead hazards. This was last observed on November 29, 2016, at 413 E Berg Rd, Salina, Kansas. a) An employee engaged in grid casting activities was exposed to a 12 hour time weighted average (TWA) level of 50.2 ug/m3 of lead, which is 1.5 times the calculated OSHA permissible exposure level (PEL) of 33.3 ug/m3. b) An employee engaged in the COS stacking operations was exposed to a 12 hour TWA level of 289.5 ug/m3 of lead, which is 8.7 times the calculated OSHA permissible exposure level (PEL) of 33.3 ug/m3. Exide Technologies was previously cited for a violation of this occupational safety and health standard or its equivalent standard 29 CFR 1910.1025(c)(1), which was contained in OSHA inspection number 314181025, citation number 2, item number 1a and was affirmed as a final order on August 3, 2011, last abatement date November 30, 2012, with respect to a workplace located at 7471 S. 5th St., Frisco, Texas 75034.
