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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

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 likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that
the employer did not
institute a medical surveillance program for all employees who were or
could be exposed to
crystalline silica at or above the OSHA PEL:
a.St. Marys Foundry, Inc. located in St. Marys, Ohio:  On or about June
29, 2006,
employees working in the cleaning room were overexposed to respirable
crystalline silica
dust at an eight-hour time weighted average concentration of 13.29 mg/m3
which
exceeded the OSHA permissible exposure limit of 0.63 mg/m3 by 2109 The
employer did not develop and implement an effective medical surveillance
program to
protect workers against the early onset of silicosis.
b.St. Marys Foundry, Inc. located in St. Marys, Ohio:  On or about July
19, 2006,
employees working in the shakeout department who were responsible for
shaking out
castings and operating the front loader were overexposed to respirable
crystalline
silica
at an eight-hour time weighted average concentration of 4.62 mg/m3 which
exceeded the
OSHA PEL of 1.59 mg/m3 by 291 The employer did not develop and
implement an
effective medical surveillance program to protect workers against the
early onset of
silicosis.
c.St. Marys Foundry, Inc. located in St. Marys, Ohio:  On or about August
2, 2006,
employees performing blowout operations in the shakeout department were
overexposed
to respirable crystalline silica at an eight-hour time weighted average
concentration of
27.66 mg/m3 which exceeded the OSHA PEL of 3.03 mg/m3 by 912 The
employer
did not develop and implement an effective medical surveillance program to
protect
workers against the early onset of silicosis.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this
hazard would be to;
Provide pre-placement baseline medical examinations to employees who are
potentially
exposed to crystalline silica at one-half the permissible exposure limit
or more which
contain the following elements:
1.A medical examination emphasizing the respiratory system, as well as an
occupational and medical history;
2.A chest roentgenogram (X-ray), posteroanterior 14" x 17" or 14" x 14",
classified according to the 1980 ILO International Classification of
Radiographs of Pneumoconiosis (ILO, 1982), and read by a board-
certified radiologist or certified class "B" reader.
Provide a medical examination emphasizing the respiratory system and a
chest X-ray
every three years to workers who have less than 15 years of crystalline
silica exposure,every two years if the worker has 15 to 20 years of
exposure, and annually if the worker
has 20 or more years of exposure.
In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d), abatement certification is required
for this
violation (using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET),
and in addition, documentation demonstrating that abatement is complete
must be
included with your certification.  This documentation may include, but is
not limited to,
evidence of the purchase or repair of the equipment, photographic or video
evidence of
abatement, or other written records.
