Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1026(c): Employees were exposed to an airborne concentration of chromium (VI) which exceeded 5 micrograms per cubic meter of air, as an 8-hour time-weighted average: The employer is failing to prevent employee exposure to hexavalent chromium hazards. The condition was most recently observed on August 31, 2017, at 3801 S Oliver, Wichita, Kansas. An employee engaged in sanding and grinding activities in the seal bay was exposed to hexavalent chromium hazards in that the employee had an 8 hour time weighted average (TWA) of 9.0 ug/m3, which is 1.8 times the calculated OSHA permissible exposure level (PEL) of 5.0 ug/m3.
