Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1000(e): Feasible administrative or engineering controls were not determined and implemented to achieve compliance with the limits prescribed in 29 CFR 1910.1000(a) through (d): On April 19, 2024, employees working at the Seiler D-Man station were exposed in excess of the permissible exposure limit for the mixture of Lead and Cadmium and administrative or engineering controls were not implemented to decrease employee exposures below the computation formula as specified in 29 CFR 1910.1000(d)(2)(i). (a) On April 19, 2024, an employee was dismantling Cathode Ray Tubes at the D-Man station. The employee was exposed to inorganic Lead at an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) of 0.067 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3) of air, approximately 1.3 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 0.05 mg/m3; and Cadmium at an 8-hour TWA of 0.010 mg/m3 of air, approximately 2.0 times the PEL of 0.005 mg/m3. The exposure concentration was approximately 3.3 times the permissible 8-hour TWA concentration for the mixture. Sampling was performed for 405 minutes. Zero exposure was assumed for the 75 minute period not sampled. (b) On April 19, 2024, an employee was dismantling Cathode Ray Tubes at the D-Man station. The employee was exposed to inorganic Lead at an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) of 0.104 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3) of air, approximately 2.1 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 0.05 mg/m3; and Cadmium at an 8-hour TWA of 0.0034 mg/m3 of air, approximately 0.67 times the PEL of 0.005 mg/m3. The exposure concentration was approximately 2.8 times the permissible 8-hour TWA concentration for the mixture. Sampling was performed for 401 minutes. Zero exposure was assumed for the 79 minute period not sampled. Universal Recycling Technologies, LLC was previously cited for a violation of this occupational safety and health standard, which was contained in OSHA inspection number 1630595, citation number 1, item number 1 a, and was affirmed as a final order on May 1, 2023, with respect to a workplace located at 2535 Beloit Ave, Janesville, WI 53546.
