Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004B Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.62(g)(1): Where employees were exposed to lead above the permissible exposure limit, without regard to the use of respirators; where employees were exposed to lead compounds which may cause skin or eye irritation (e.g. lead arsenate, lead azide); and as interim protection for employees performing tasks as specified in 29 CFR 1926.62(d)(2), the employer did not ensure that each employee used appropriate protective work clothing and equipment that prevented contamination of the employee and the employee's garments: PONEMAH MILL, 611 NORWICH AVENUE, TAFTVILLE, CT: On or about and at times prior to April 27, 2018, employees and subcontractors were conducting demolition and renovation activities. No initial employee exposure assessment had been conducted and employees were not provided with personal protective equipment to minimize exposure and prevent contamination of employee clothing. The employer was the General Contractor for the site and had general supervisory authority over the worksite which was an old mill (circa 1860s). Paint that was peeling from the walls was analyzed at the Salt Lake Technical Center and was determined to be positive for lead.
