What this inspection record means

OSHA opens inspections for many reasons: routine scheduling under a national or local emphasis program, an employee complaint or referral, or a follow-up after a reported injury. Opening or conducting an inspection is not itself an allegation or a finding that this employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The
employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were
free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death
or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to
the hazard of inhalation of cobalt dust which can lead to cumulative
lung disease (hard metals disease), asthma and dermatitis:
a) Baystate Carbide Products Inc., Machine shop - Workers involved with
grinding tungsten carbide were exposed to cobalt dust on March 2,
1990, March 6, 1990, and April 4, 1990 without protection by a
medical monitoring program to protect workers against the early onset
of cumulative lung disease (hard metals disease), asthma and
dermatitis (see descriptions of operations involving exposure to
cobalt in citation #1, Item 3b and 5b and citation #2, Items 1b and
2a).
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard would be to require all workers exposed to cobalt
levels greater than or equal to 50% of the permissable exposure limit
(PEL=0.05 mg/m3) to be included in a medical monitoring program.
ABATEMENT NOTE a medical monitoring program should include at a minimum:
1) A baseline chest x-ray (14" X17" chest roentgenogram).
2) Complete medical history.
3) FVC and FEV (1 sec) pulmonary function test.
4) The physical exam should include complete evaluation for
determination of employee capability to wear respiratory protection.
5) All medical test results will be discussed with the worker by the
physician.
Medical follow-up program should include the following procedure:
1) Pulmonary function tests annually and chest x-ray once every 3 years.
2) A worker shown to be developing pneumoconiosis should be removed
from exposure.
3) Employment termination physical including chest x-ray pulmonary
function test.
