Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 010A Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.62(e)(1): The employer did not implement all feasible engineering and work practice controls, including administrative controls, to reduce and maintain employee exposure to lead to or below the permissible exposure limit: 33 YORK AVENUE, NIANTIC, CT: On or about and at times prior to August 8, 2017, the employer, who was the General Contractor for a lead renovation project, did not ensure that employees of a subcontracted company used equipment and containment that would minimize the employees' exposure to lead while removing lead-based paint from the exterior of a house built in 1890. The employees used power sanding equipment that did not have HEPA exhaust controls. As the General Contractor, the employer had general supervisory authority over the worksite and, under EPA Lead regulations, was responsible for ensuring that Lead-Safe Work Practices were followed.
