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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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

The following alleged violations have been grouped because they
%%
involved similar or related hazards that may increase the potential
for illness:
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:
a)  Excessive concentrations of isosorbide dinitrate.  One
employee was exposed to isosorbide dinitrate at a
concentration of 0.214 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3),
on or about March 9, 1992.  The total sampling time was 388
minutes; zero exposure was assumed for unsampled time
periods.  Among feasible and acceptable abatement methods
are:  Increased local exhaust ventilation of tableting
machines; increased general exhaust ventilation in the
tableting rooms; the use of HEPA filter equipped vacuum
cleaners during cleaning of tableting machines; reduced
employee exposure time in tableting rooms during tableting
operations.
Multi-Step Abatement:
Abatement normally will be multi-step as follow:
Step 1:  Effective rspiratory protection shall be provided and used
by exposed employees as an interim protective measure until
feasible engineering and/or administrative controls can be
implemented, or whenever such controls fail to reduce
employee exposure to within permissible exposure limits.
Step 2:  Submit to the Area Director a written, detailed plan of
abatement outlining a schedule for the implementation of
engineering and/or administrative measures to control
employee exposure to hazardous substances as referenced in
this citation.  This plan shall include, at a minimum, target
dates for the following actiong which must be consistent
with the abatement dates required by this citation.
1)  Evaluation of engineering/administrative control options;
2)  Selection of optimum control methods and completion of
design;
3)  Procurement, installation and operation of selected
control measures; and
4)  Testing and acceptance or modification/redesign of
controls.
Note:  All proposed control measures shall be approved for
each particular use by a competent industrial hygienist or
other technically qualified person.  Ninety (90) day progress
reports are required during the abatement period.  (The 90
day requirement for the submission of progress reports may
be shortened or lengthened by the Area Director depending
on the specific circumstances.)
Step 3:  Abatement shall have been completed by the implementation
of feasible engineering and/or administrative controls upon
verification of their effectiveness in achieving compliance.
