Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 004 Hazard: CHEMNEP

29 CFR 1910.1052(d)(3): Where the initial determination showed employee exposures at or above the action limit or above the STEL, the employer did not establish a periodic exposure monitoring program for methylene chloride in accordance with Table 1: (a)Hill Air Force Base, at 7290 Weiner Street, Hill Air Force Base, UT: On and preceding 3/15/11, where the initial determination showed employee exposures at or above the action limit or above the STEL, Hill Air Force Base did not establish a periodic exposure monitoring program for methylene chloride in accordance with Table 1. Employees chemically stripped paint from aircraft parts in Building 220 using Henkel Turco 5351 Paint Stripping Agent (containing 30-60% methylene chloride). This process generated methylene chloride aerosol. Previous sampling by the employer had found employee exposure to methylene chloride in excess of the Action Level, Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL), and Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL). An exposure monitoring program in accordance with Table 1 was not implemented. Abatement Note: Abatement certification is required for this item (See enclosed "Sample Abatement-Certification Letter"). Abatement Note: Where employee exposure to methylene chloride exceeds both the PEL and the STEL, exposure monitoring must be conducted every three months.ed
