Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1000(c): An employee(s) was exposed to Quartz (Respirable) in excess of the 8-hour time weighted average limits of 10 mg/m3 divided by %SiO2 + 2 listed in Table Z-3: a. On or about 11/10/2016, at the yard, an abrasive blasting employees personal 8-hour time-weighted average (8-Hr TWA) exposure to respirable dust containing 27.8% Crystalline Silica Quartz was 0.67 mg/m3. This exceeded the OSHA 8-Hr TWA PEL of 0.335 mg/m3 for respirable dust containing 27.8% Crystalline Silica Quartz by 2 times. The personal air monitoring consisted of two samples collected during a 109 minute sampling period on 11/10/2016. The remaining un-sampled time of 371 minutes was included in the 8-Hr TWA as a zero exposure period.
