Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1028(i)(1)(i): The employer did not make available a medical surveillance program for employees who were or could be exposed to benzene at or above the PELs 10 or more days per year: a) On or about March 26, 2014, and at times prior, employees that were or could be exposed above permissible exposure limits on a daily basis were not provided with a medical surveillance program to determine the effects of their exposure to benzene. Air sampling conducted on March 26, 2014, showed an employee was exposed to 10.64 parts per million (ppm) of benzene during a 25 minute sampling period while preparing samples in the lab. This exposure level was approximately 2.12 times greater than the short term exposure limit (STEL) of 5ppm.
