Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002A Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.1153(d)(2)(i): The employer failed to assess the exposure of each employee who is or may reasonably be expected to be exposed to respirable crystalline silica at or above the action level in accordance with either the performance option in paragraph (d)(2)(ii) or the scheduled monitoring option in paragraph (d)(2)(iii) of this section. (a) Grosvenor Masonry, Inc. at 13150 Quebec St., Thornton, CO 80602: On or before March 14, 2018, the employer did not conduct exposure assessment for employees performing work that was not included in Table 1. The employer was having workers mix mortar that contained crystalline silica. No personal air monitoring had been conducted by the employer to assess compliance with the standard.
