Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003C Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1053(c): The employer did not ensure that no employee was exposed to an airborne concentration of respirable crystalline silica in excess of 50 ug/m3, calculated as an 8-hour TWA: a) No Bake Area: An employee, Mold Assembler, assembling and checking molds was exposed to an 8 hour time-weighted average (TWA) of 99.92 ug/m³ of respirable silica. This level is 2.0 times the permissible exposure limit of 50 ug/m³. This exposure occurred over a 436 minute sampling period on December 6, 2019. A zero exposure is assumed for the 44 minutes not sampled. b) No Bake Area: An employee, No Bake Team Lead, operating the shaker and the mixer was exposed to an 8 hour time-weighted average (TWA) of 123.02 ug/m³ of respirable silica. This level is 2.46 times the permissible exposure limit of 50 ug/m³. This exposure occurred over a 444 minute sampling period on December 6, 2019. A zero exposure is assumed for the 36 minutes not sampled.
