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.

29 CFR 1910.1025(i)(3)(i): The employer did not assure that employees who work in areas where their airborne exposure to lead is above the PEL, without regard to the use of respirators, shower at the end of the work shift. At this establishment, the yard and ship cutters were not taking a shower at the end of the work shift. Some of the employees were taking a shower only twice a week. The employer did not enforce his own Lead Program and did not assure that employees who were exposed to lead above the PEL take a shower at the end of their work shift. Monitoring was conducted to ascertain Lead exposure. The employees were exposed to Inorganic Lead as follows: a) an employee was exposed to airborne levels of Inorganic Lead at 0.1545 mg/cubic meter (8-hr time-weighted average) while cutting/torching the metal. This level is 3.09 times the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 0.050 mg/cubic meter. Sampling was performed on January 22, 2015 for a period of 389 minutes. Zero exposure is assumed for the remaining 91 minutes. b) an employee was exposed to airborne levels of Inorganic Lead at 0.1236 mg/cubic meter (8-hr time-weighted average) while cutting/torching the metal. This level is 2.473 times the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 0.050 mg/cubic meter. Sampling was performed on January 22, 2015 for a period of 331 minutes.
