Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1052(c)(1): Eight-hour time-weighted average (TWA) PEL. The employer shall ensure that no employee is exposed to an airborne concentration of MC in excess of twenty-five parts of MC per million parts of air (25 ppm) as an 8-hour TWA. On or about March 7, 2024, at an establishment located at 724 South Industrial Drive in Waupaca, Wisconsin; an employee stripping wood furniture using Benco B7 industrial paint remover was exposed an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) of 138 ppm of Methylene chloride (MC), approximately 5.5 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 25 ppm.
