Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 009 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.1053(i)(1)(i): The employer did not make medical surveillance available at no cost to each employee, and at a reasonable time and place, for each employee who has been occupationally exposed to respirable crystalline silica at or above the action level for 30 or more days per year: a) Fabrication Area - Florenza Marble & Granite Corporation does not provide medical surveillance to employees that are exposed to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) at or above the Action Level of 25 �g/m3 for 30 or more days a year. This was most recently documented on February 29, 2024, when an employee cutting engineered stone slabs was exposed to concentrations of respirable crystalline silica (quartz), of 180 �g/m3, calculated as an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA). This value exceeded the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) by approximately 3.7 times. In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19 (d), abatement certification is required for this violation (using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET), and in addition, documentation demonstration that abatement is complete must be included with your certification. This documentation may include, but is not limited to, evidence of purchase or repair of equipment, photographic or video evidence of abatement or other written records.
