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 no medical
surveillance was developed or implemented for silicosis and related
exposures :
a)At the job site where the sandblaster was using silica sand to blast oil
field
equipment which contained 30crystalline quartz resulting in an 8-hour
time weighted average of .60 mg/m3.  The permissible exposure limit for
silica with 30crystalline quartz is .31 mg/m3.  Sampling was conducted
for 170 minutes during one work shift on 7-8-03.  Zero exposure was
assumed for the unsampled period of 310 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
exposures 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 Test (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.
