Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1000(a)(2): Employee(s) were exposed to an airborne concentration of carbon monoxide listed in Table Z-1 in excess of the 8 hour Time Weighted Average concentration of 50 parts carbon monoxide per million parts air (50 ppm): LATHE DEPARTMENT, RIGHT BAY: On or about July 5, 2018, three employees were using a fork truck to move a CNC machine out of the building when they were exposed to carbon monoxide at concentrations in excess of the 8-hour Time Weighted Average (TWA) Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 50 parts per million (ppm). The fork truck was being used inside the building with doors closed thereby limiting the amount of ventilation. a) One employee had been exposed to carbon monoxide at an 8-hour TWA of 483.6 ppm which is 9.67 the PEL. The exposure concentration was derived by entering the employee's carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) concentration and other site-specific data into the Coburn-Forster-Kane equation. b) A second employee had been exposed to carbon monoxide at an 8-hour TWA of 142.4 ppm which is 2.85 the PEL. The exposure concentration was derived by entering the employee's carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) concentration and other site-specific data into the Coburn-Forster-Kane equation.
