Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1000(c): Table Z-3. An employee's exposure to any substance listed in Table Z-3, in any 8-hour work shift of a 40-hour work week, exceeded the 8-hour time weighted average limit given for that substance in the table: (a) In the Plant 3 cutting/grinding area, on or about March 2, 2016, an employee who was cutting/grinding fiberglass boat hulls was exposed to particulates (total dust) at an 8 hour Time-Weighted Average level of 60.4 mg/m3, which is approximately 4 times the Permissible Exposure Limit for Particulate Not Otherwise Regulated total dust of 15 mg/m3. The exposure level is derived from a sample collected over a 369 minute sampling period; the calculations include a zero value for the 111 minutes not sampled. (b) In the Plant 1 cutting/grinding area, on or about February 19, 2016, an employee who was cutting/grinding fiberglass boat decks was exposed to particulates (total dust) at an 8 hour Time-Weighted Average level of 47.8 mg/m3, which is approximately 3.2 times the Permissible Exposure Limit for Particulate Not Otherwise Regulated total dust of 15 mg/m3. The exposure level is derived from a sample collected over a 307 minute sampling period; the calculations include a zero value for the 173 minutes not sampled. (c) In the Plant 3 cutting/grinding area, on or about March 2, 2016, an employee who was cutting/grinding fiberglass boat decks was exposed to particulates (total dust) at an 8 hour Time-Weighted Average level of 37.4 mg/m3, which is approximately 2.5 times the Permissible Exposure Limit for Particulate Not Otherwise Regulated total dust of 15 mg/m3. The exposure level is derived from a sample collected over a 379 minute sampling period; the calculations include a zero value for the 101 minutes not sampled.
