Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 009 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1001(j)(4)(i): Posting. Warning signs must be provided and displayed at each regulated area. In addition, warning signs must be posted at all approaches to regulated areas so that an employee may read the signs and take necessary protective steps before entering the area. (a) On November 12, 2014, bulk sampling conducted in the furnace room produced 3.0% Chrysotile in the brown tile. The air in the furnace room is recirculated throughout the entire store. (b) The Employer failed to conduct initial employee monitoring after an evaluation of asbestos was conducted and obtained positive asbestos results. At no time since the results came back positive did the employer post any type of warning sign at the regulated areas so employees may read and take the necessary precautions when entering into that work area.
