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 facility, where a sandblaster was exposed to silica, containing 73% crystalline quartz, at an 8-hour time weighted average of 0.885 mg/m3. The acceptable permissible exposure limit for silica with 73crystalline quartz is 0.133 mg/m3. Sampling was conducted for 30 minutes during the workshift on 10/05/99. Zero exposure was assumed for the remaining 450 minutes. Feasible methods of abatement may include, but are not limited to: 1. Medical surveillance, including: a. A baseline examination which includes a medcial 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.
