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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

General-duty citation text
29 CFR 1910.95(b)(1): Employees were subjected to sound levels exceeding those listed in Table G-16 of Subpart G of 29 CFR 1910.95 and feasible administrative or engineering controls were not utilized to reduce sound levels: (a) Atlas Metal & Iron Corporation, at 1100 Umatilla Street, Denver, CO: On 11/19/14, employees were subjected to sound levels exceeding those listed in Table G-16 of Subpart G of 29 CFR 1910.95 and feasible administrative or engineering controls were not utilized to reduce sound levels. On 11/19/14 one employee acting as the raker in the chopping area was exposed to noise at a dose in excess of the one hundred percent dose Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL). The employee was exposed to noise at a dose of 386%. This is 3.86 times the PEL. The employer had not implemented engineering or administrative controls to reduce noise exposure to below the levels listed in Table G-16. This condition exposed the employee to a hazardous noise dose. (b) Atlas Metal & Iron Corporation, at 1100 Umatilla Street, Denver, CO: On 11/19/14, employees were subjected to sound levels exceeding those listed in Table G-16 of Subpart G of 29 CFR 1910.95 and feasible administrative or engineering controls were not utilized to reduce sound levels. On 11/19/14 one employee operating a forklift in the chopping area was exposed to noise at a dose in excess of the one hundred percent dose Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL). The employee was exposed to noise at a dose of 204%. This is 2.04 times the PEL. The employer had not implemented engineering or administrative controls to reduce noise exposure to below the levels listed in Table G-16. This condition exposed the employee to a hazardous noise dose. Abatement Note: Feasible engineering controls include, but are not limited to: A reduction in employee noise exposure would be considered significant if a three to five decibel noise level decrease is achieved (CPL 2-2.35A). 1) Use of vibration damping materials for structural components of process equipment, including conveyors, shaker tables, and grinders. 2) Enclosure of process equipment, including conveyors. 3) Use of enclosed booths for employees at work stations, ie for the front side operator. 4) Reduce reverberation by added sound absorbing materials to walls and the ceiling of the chopping area. 5) Use of forklift with enclosed cab. Abatement Note: Abatement of this item will normally be multi-step as follows: STEP 1: Effective hearing protection shall be provided and used by exposed employees as an interim protective measure until feasible engineering and/or administrative controls can be implemented or whenever such controls fail to reduce employee exposure to within exposure limits. STEP 1 ABATEMENT DATE (30 DAYS): STEP 2: Submit to the Area Director a written detailed plan of abatement outlining a schedule for the implementation of engineering and/or administrative measures to control employee exposures to industrial noise. The plan shall include, at a minimum, target dates for the following actions which should be consistent with the dates required by this citation: 1) Evaluation of the extent and location of the hazard source(s); 2) Evaluation of control measure options; 3) Selection of optimum control measures; 4) Determination of control measure design; 5) Ordering and delivery of equipment; 6) Installation of control measures; 7) Training of employees in proper orientation and maintenance of newly implemented control measures; and 8) Assurance of the effective performance of control measures. All proposed control measures shall be evaluated for each particular use by a competent Industrial Hygienist or other technically qualified person. Thirty (30) day progress reports are required during the abatement period. The progress report must identify the action taken to achieve abatement and the date the action was taken. STEP 2 ABATEMENT DATE (60 DAYS): STEP 3: Abatement will be completed by the implementation of feasible engineering and/or administrative controls and upon verification of their effectiveness in achieving compliance. STEP 3 ABATEMENT DATE (120 DAYS):

29 CFR 1910.133(a)(5): The employer did not ensure that each affected employee used equipment with filter lenses that had a shade number appropriate for the work being performed for protection from injurious light radiation: (a)Atlas Metal & Iron Corporation, at 1100 Umatilla Street, Denver, CO: On 10/8/14, Atlas Metal & Iron Corporation did not ensure that each affected employee used equipment with filter lenses that had a shade number appropriate for the work being performed for protection from injurious light radiation. One employee used an oxyacetylene torch to cut approximately one inch or less thickness mild steel plate. The employee wore clear lens safety glasses during this operation. This condition exposed the employee to a light radiation hazard.

29 CFR 1910.134(d)(1)(iii): The employer did not identify and evaluate the respiratory hazard in the workplace: (a)Atlas Metal & Iron Corporation, at 1100 Umatilla Street, Denver, CO: On and preceding 11/19/14, Atlas Metal & Iron Corporation did not identify and evaluate the respiratory hazard in the workplace. Four employees worked in the chopping area, where copper wire, aluminum wire, or aluminum extrusion were granulated. The process generated copper dust, aluminum dust, and Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated (total dust). The employer had not evaluated employee exposure to copper dust, aluminum dust, or Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated (total dust). This condition exposed the employees to a respiratory hazard.

29 CFR 1910.134(d)(3)(i): The employer did not provide a respirator that was adequate to protect the health of the employee under routine and reasonably foreseeable emergency situations: (a)Atlas Metal & Iron Corporation, at 1100 Umatilla Street, Denver, CO: On and preceding 11/19/14, Atlas Metal & Iron Corporation did not provide a respirator that was adequate to protect the health of the employee under routine and reasonably foreseeable emergency situations. One employee sorting extruded aluminum at the raker was exposed to Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated (total dust) at a concentration greater than 15.0 mg/m3 of air averaged over an eight hour period. The employee was exposed to Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated (total dust) at a concentration of 221 mg/m3 as an 8 hour Time Weighted Average. This is 14.7 times the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL). Air monitoring was conducted for 458 minutes. The employee was required to wear a 3M model 7500 half mask tight fitting air purifying respirator with model 7093 P100 cartridges. The assigned protection factor for this type of respirator was 10. The half mask air purifying respirator did not have an adequate assigned protection factor. This condition exposed the employee to a respiratory hazard.
