Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1026(d)(2)(i): The employer shall perform initial monitoring to determine the 8-hour TWA exposure for each employee on the basis of a sufficient number of personal breathing zone air samples to accurately characterize full shift exposure on each shift, for each job classification, in each work area. Where an employer does representative sampling instead of sampling all employees in order to meet this requirement, the employer shall sample the employee(s) expected to have the highest chromium (VI) exposures. The employer did not perform initial monitoring to determine employee exposure to chromium (VI) when employees were MIG welding on stainless steel.
