Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001C Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1025(f)(1)(ii): Respirators for protection against lead were not used or were not provided when engineering and/or work-practice controls were not sufficient to reduce employee exposures to or below the permissible exposure limit: (a) Martin Foundry Company, Inc. is failing to protect employees from lead concentrations greater than the permissible exposure level of fifty micrograms per cubic meter, in that respirators were not used. This was most recently documented in the following instances: (1) On or about April 24, 2015, an employee was exposed to an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) level of 122 micrograms per cubic meter of lead, which is 2.44 times the OSHA permissible exposure level (PEL) of 50 micrograms per cubic meter, while performing red brass grinding operations. (2) On or about April 24, 2015, an employee was exposed to an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) level of 85 micrograms per cubic meter of lead, which is 1.7 times the OSHA permissible exposure level (PEL) of 50 micrograms per cubic meter, while performing red brass melting and pouring operations.
