Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1026(d)(2)(iv): The employer used the scheduled monitoring option, and monitoring revealed employee exposures to chromium (VI) to be above the permissible exposure limit; however, the employer did not perform periodic monitoring at least every three months: The employer does not perform periodic monitoring, at least every three months, for employees exposed to hexavalent chromium above the permissible exposure limit. This violation occurred on or about August 28, 2014, at times prior thereto and at times thereafter in the chrome plating area; where a chrome plater was exposed to hexavalent chromium at an eight-hour time-weighted average of 6.8 µg/m3 of air, approximately 1.26 times the OSHA PEL of 5.0 µg/m3.
