Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1026(e)(2): The employer did not ensure that a regulated area for chromium (VI) was demarcated from the rest of the workplace in a manner that adequately established and alerted employees of the boundaries of the regulated area: a) Weld shop There was no indication that certain welding areas involved operations which liberated hexavalent chromium. A welder performing TIG and MIG (flux core) welding on a stainless steel hopper was exposed to 13.7 micrograms hexavalent chromium per cubic meter of air, as an 8 hour time weighted average, which was 2.7 times the permissible exposure limit of 5 micrograms per cubic meter. Sampling was conducted for 407 minutes, with zero exposure assumed for 73 minutes not sampled. Violation occurred on or about 5/1/17.
