Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 003A Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.1025(e)(3)(i): The employer did not establish and implement a written compliance program to reduce exposures to or below the permissible exposure limit, solely by means of engineering and work practice controls. On or about August 17, 2018 and times prior thereto, the employer had not implemented a written compliance program to reduce employee exposure to lead to at or below 50 microgram per cubic meter of air by engineering or work practices. These conditions exposed employees to inhalation hazards: a) Range worker(s) in the rifle range to supervise customers using fire arms and perform range cleanup were exposed to Lead at an 8-hour Time Weighted Average (TWA) up to 1.669 milligrams per cubic meter of air, over 33 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air. The exposure level is derived from a breathing zone sample collected over 455 minutes and include a zero value for the 25 minutes not sampled. b) Range worker(s) in the handgun range to supervise customers using fire arms and perform range cleanup were exposed Lead at an 8-hour TWA up to 1.151 milligrams per cubic meter of air, over 23 times the PEL of 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air. The exposure level is derived from a breathing zone sample collected over 413 minutes and include a zero value for the 67 minutes not sampled.
