Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 012A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1025(c)(1): Employee(s) were exposed to lead for more than eight -8 hours during the work day in excess of the reduced permissible exposure limit: (a) Herbert C. Jackson; The employer did not ensure that employee(s) exposure to lead did not exceed 40 micrograms per cubic meter (ug/m3) of air, as a reduced 10-hour time weighted average (TWA) for the extended work shift. This violation occurred on March 23, 2016 when an employee welding/torching/grinding in the ballast tanks/cargo hold areas was exposed to lead at a 10-hour TWA of 136.4 ug/m3 of air, approximately 3.41 times the permissible exposure limit of 40 ug/m3. Sampling was performed for 471 minutes during one shift. Zero exposure was assumed for the 129 minute period not sampled.
