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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

North Carolina General Statute 95-129(1) of the Occupational Safety
and Health Act of North Carolina:  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 1-Bromopropane:
a)gluing/spraying area, employees working in the
gluing/spraying area used spray guns to apply
whisper spray adhesive to foam pieces to make
furniture cushions; the adhesive contained 50-
601-Bromopropane which is known to effect
the central nervous system, reproductive
system, and respiratory system.  Air
monitoring results revealed employee exposures
as follows:
1. On November 29, 2006, employee A was
exposed to 1-Bromopropane levels at an 8-
hour time-weighted average of 104.49 ppm.
This exposure level was derived from six
samples collected over 339 minutes, with
zero exposure assumed for the unsampled
time period.
2.  On November 29, 2006, employee B was
exposed to 1-Bromopropane levels at an 8-
hour time-weighted average of 78.73 ppm.
This exposure level was derived from six
samples collected over 349 minutes, with
zero exposure assumed for the unsampled
time period.
NOTE:Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method
to abate this hazard is to provide an effective
ventilation system that would reduce the exposure level
to below 10 ppm, as the recommended exposure limit listed
by Great Lakes and the ACGIH, as indicated on the
Imperial Adhesives, Inc., MSDS which was provided to
NCDOL by Carolina Foam, LLC and the Henkel Corporation
MSDS provided through the manufacturer.
Or in the Alternative:
29 CFR 1910.94(c)(5)(i):  Ventilation for spray finishing
operation(s) was not provided in accordance with the provisions of
Section 1910.107(d) or in accordance with the requirements of this
subparagraph:
a)gluing/spraying area, employees working in the
gluing/spraying area used spray guns to apply
whisper spray adhesive to foam pieces to make
furniture cushions; the adhesive contained 50-
601-Bromopropane which is known to effectthe central nervous system,
reproductive
system, and respiratory system.  Air
monitoring results revealed employee exposures
as follows:
1. On November 29, 2006, employee A was
exposed to 1-Bromopropane levels at an 8-
