Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 010A Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.62(d)(1)(i): Each employer who had a workplace or operation covered by 29 CFR 1926.62 did not initially determine if any employee was exposed to lead at or above the action level of 30 micrograms per cubic meter of air (30 ug/m3) calculated as an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA): PONEMAH MILL, 611 NORWICH AVENUE, TAFTVILLE, CT: On or about and at times prior to April 27, 2018, the employer, acting as general contractor at a construction site, did not conduct testing to determine whether their employees or the employees of subcontractors who would be working at the site would be exposed to lead above the action level as a result of lead-based paint that was peeling from walls, ceilings and other building structures throughout the site. The employer was the General Contractor for the site and had general supervisory authority over the worksite which was an old mill (circa 1860s). Paint that was peeling from the walls was analyzed at the Salt Lake Technical Center and was determined to be positive for lead.
