Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1026(f)(1)(i): Feasible engineering controls and work practices were not instituted to reduce and maintain employee exposures to chromium (VI) at or below the permissible exposure limit: The employer does not determine and implement administrative and engineering controls to achieve compliance with the limits prescribed in 29 CFR 1910.1026(c). This violation occurred on or about August 5, 2014, at times prior thereto and at times thereafter, in the chromium plating area; where the employer had not implemented feasible administrative or engineering controls to achieve compliance with the permissible exposure limit for hexavalent chromium. A chromium plater was exposed to hexavalent chromium at an eight-hour time-weighted average of 6.8 µg/m3 of air, approximately 1.36 times the OSHA PEL of 5.0 µg/m3.
