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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

29 CFR 1910.1000(a)(2): Employees were exposed to airborne concentrations of iron oxide fume, listed in Table Z-1, in excess of the 8-hour time weighted average concentration of 10 mg/m3. The employer does not ensure that employee exposure to iron oxide fume does not exceed 10 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3) of air, as an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA). This violation occurred on or about September 26, 2013, in the plasma cutting shop where plasma cutters were exposed to iron oxide fumes at an 8-hour TWA over the permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 10 mg/m3. a. In the plasma cutting shop, one plasma cutter was exposed to iron oxide fume at an 8-hour TWA of 14.5 mg/m3 of air, approximately 1.5 times the PEL of 10 mg/m3. Sampling was performed for 472 minutes. Zero exposure was assumed for the 8 minute period not sampled. b. In the plasma cutting shop, one plasma cutter was exposed to iron oxide fume at an 8-hour TWA of 15.4 mg/m3 of air, approximately 1.5 times the PEL of 10 mg/m3. Sampling was performed for 467 minutes. Zero exposure was assumed for the 13 minute period not sampled. PJ TRAILERS MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC. WAS PREVIOUSLY CITED FOR A VIOLATION OF THIS OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH STANDARD OR ITS EQUIVALENT STANDARD, 29 CFR 1910.1000(a)(2), WHICH WAS CONTAINED IN OSHA INSPECTION NUMBER 314181926, CITATION NUMBER 001, ITEM NUMBER 003 (a), ISSUED ON SEPTEMBER 27, 2011, AND WAS AFFIRMED FINAL ORDER ON OCTOBER 19, 2011, WITH RESPECT TO A WORKPLACE LOCATED AT 1807 FM 2352, SUMNER, TEXAS 75486.

29 CFR 1910.1000(d): When determined by the computational formula specified in 29 CFR 1910.1000(d)(2)(i), employees were exposed to concentrations of more than one substance for which 8-hour time weighted averages are listed in Subparts Z of 29 CFR part 1910 in excess of the permissible exposure for the mixture. The employer does not ensure that employee exposure to concentrations of more than one substance does not exceed the permissible exposure for the mixture of iron oxide fume and copper fume. The mixture has an additive toxic effect on the lungs. This violation occurred on or about September 26, 2013 at times prior thereto and at times thereafter in the plasma cutting shop: a. A plasma cutter was exposed to copper fume at an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) of 0.077 mg/m3 of air, approximately 0.77 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 0.1 mg/m3, and iron oxide fume at an 8-hour TWA of 14.5 mg/m3 of air, approximately 1.5 times the PEL of 10 mg/m3. The exposure combination was approximately 2.2 times the permissible 8-hour TWA concentration for the mixture. Sampling was performed for 472 minutes. Zero exposure was assumed for the 8 minute period not sampled. b. A plasma cutter was exposed to copper fume at an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) of 0.064 mg/m3 of air, approximately 0.64 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 0.1 mg/m3, and iron oxide fume at an 8-hour TWA of 15.4 mg/m3 of air, approximately 1.5 times the PEL of 10 mg/m3. The exposure combination was approximately 2.2 times the permissible 8-hour TWA concentration for the mixture. Sampling was performed for 467 minutes. Zero exposure was assumed for the 13 minute period not sampled. c. A plasma cutter, although not overexposed to individual components detected on the sample, was overexposed to the mixture of components consisting of iron oxide fume and copper fume. The plasma cutter was exposed to copper fume at an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA) of 0.066 mg/m3 of air, approximately 0.66 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 0.1 mg/m3, and iron oxide fume at an 8-hour TWA of 10.4 mg/m3 of air, approximately 1.0 times the PEL of 10 mg/m3. The exposure combination was approximately 1.7 times the permissible 8-hour TWA concentration for the mixture. Sampling was performed for 471 minutes. Zero exposure was assumed for the 9 minute period not sampled. PJ TRAILERS MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC. WAS PREVIOUSLY CITED FOR A VIOLATION OF THIS OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH STANDARD OR ITS EQUIVALENT STANDARD, 29 CFR 1910.1000(d), WHICH WAS CONTAINED IN OSHA INSPECTION NUMBER 314181926, CITATION NUMBER 001, ITEM NUMBER 003 (b), ISSUED ON SEPTEMBER 27, 2011, AND WAS AFFIRMED FINAL ORDER ON OCTOBER 19, 2011, WITH RESPECT TO A WORKPLACE LOCATED AT 1807 FM 2352, SUMNER, TEXAS 75486.

29 CFR 1910.1000(e): Feasible administrative or engineering controls were not determined and implemented to achieve compliance with the limits prescribed in 29 CFR 1910.1000(a) through (d). The employer does not determine and implement administrative and engineering controls to achieve compliance with the limits prescribed in 29 CFR 1910.1000(a) through (d). This violation occurred on or about September 26, 2013, in the plasma cutting shop, when the employer had not implemented feasible administrative or engineering controls to achieve compliance with the permissible exposure limit for iron oxide fume and permissible exposure limit for the mixture of iron oxide fume and copper fume during plasma cutting operations. Abatement: Step 1: A written detailed plan of abatement shall be submitted to the Area Director outlining a schedule for the implementation of engineering measure to control employee exposures to hazardous substances as referenced in this citation. This plan shall include, at a minimum, target dates for the following actions which must be consistent with abatement dates required by this citation: 1. Evaluation of engineering options; 2. Selection of optimum control methods and completion of design; 3. Procurement, installation, and operation of selected control measures; and 4. Testing and acceptance or modification/redesign of controls. Note: All proposed control measures shall be approved for each particular use by a competent industrial hygienist or other technically qualified person. Step 2: Abatement shall have been completed by the implementation of feasible engineering controls upon verification of their effectiveness in achieving compliance.

29 CFR 1910.1000(a)(2): Employees were exposed to airborne concentration of particulates not otherwise regulated, listed in Table Z-1, which is also referenced in Table Z-3 under Inert or Nuisance dust , in excess of 5 mg/m3 (respirable) as an 8-hour time weighted average. The employer does not ensure that employee exposure to particulates not otherwise regulated (PNOR), respirable fraction, does not exceed 5 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3) of air as an 8-hour time weighted average (TWA). This violation occurred on or about September 26, 2013, in the finishing department, where a powder coat operator was exposed to PNOR, respirable fraction, at an 8-hour TWA of 40.8 mg/m3 of air, approximately 8.2 times the PEL of 5 mg/m3. Sampling was performed for 152 minutes during one shift. Zero exposure was assumed for the 32 minute period not samples. PJ TRAILERS MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC. WAS PREVIOUSLY CITED FOR A VIOLATION OF THIS OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH STANDARD OR ITS EQUIVALENT STANDARD, 29 CFR 1910.1000(e), WHICH WAS CONTAINED IN OSHA INSPECTION NUMBER 314181926, CITATION NUMBER 004, ITEM NUMBER 004 (b), ISSUED ON SEPTEMBER 27, 2011, AND WAS AFFIRMED FINAL ORDER ON JANUARY 9, 2011, WITH RESPECT TO A WORKPLACE LOCATED AT 1807 FM 2352, SUMNER, TEXAS 75486.
