Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:

29 CFR 1926.1101(f)(1)(i): Each employer who has a workplace or work operation where exposure monitoring is required under this section did not perform monitoring to determine accurately the airborne concentrations of asbestos to which employees may have been exposed: a) On or about June 7, 2017, at the above located worksite employees were required to remove 12 inch floor tiles and mastic that contained 0.4% to 6.0% asbestos (Class II asbestos work) in the main first floor north - south corridor. Employees were required to remove floor tile and mastic that contained asbestos, using aggressive methods (dry removal that broke up intact asbestos containing material). The employer did not perform monitoring to determine accurately the airborne concentrations of asbestos to which employees may be exposed. The employees removing asbestos containing floor tile were thereby exposed to the hazards associated with airborne asbestos.
