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 hazards of developing undetected cases of silicosis
from being exposed to
unknown concentrations of crystalline silica:
(a)At the Verhalen water tank, where a sandblaster was exposed to silica,
containing 4.10
crystalline quartz, at an 8-hour time weighted average of 15.975 mg/m3.
The acceptable
Permissible Exposure Limit for silica with 4.10crystalline quartz is
1.639 mg/m3.
Sampling was conducted during a normal workshift on 11-18-98 for a period
of 155
minutes. Zero exposure was assumed for the unsampled period of 325 minutes.
Feasible methods of abatement may include, but are not limited to:
1.Medical surveillance, including:
a.A baseline examination which includes a medical and occupational history
to elicit data on signs and symptoms of respiratory disease prior to
exposure to crystalline silica. The medical examination emphasizing the
respiratory system should be repeated every five years if under 20 years
of exposure and every two years if over 20 years of exposure. The
medical examination should be repeated more frequently if respiratory
symptoms develop or upon the recommendation of the examining
physician.
b.A baseline chest x-ray should be obtained prior to employment with a
follow-up every five years if under 20 years of exposure and every two
years if over 20 years of exposure. A chest x-ray may be required more
frequently if determined by the examining physician.
c.Pulmonary Function Tests (PFT): Should include FEV (forced expiratory
volume in 1 second), FVC (forced vital capacity) and DLCO (diffusion
lung capacity). PFTs should be obtained for a baseline examination with
PFTs repeated every five years if under 20 years of exposure and every
two years if over 20 years of exposure. PFTs may be required more
frequently if respirable symptoms develop or if recommended by the
examining physician.
d.A chest x-ray should be obtained upon employment termination.
