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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 1910.1028(e)(1): Exposure monitoring - General. 29 CFR 1910.1028(e)(1)(iii): Determinations of compliance with the short-term exposure limit (STEL) shall be made from 15 minute employee breathing zone samples measured at operations where there is reason to believe exposures are high, such as where tanks are opened, filled, unloaded or gauged; where containers or process equipment are opened and where benzene is used for cleaning or as a solvent in an uncontrolled situation. The employer may use objective data, such as measurements from brief period measuring devices, to determine where STEL monitoring is needed. On or about February 8, 2017, STEL exposure monitoring for lab technicians had not been performed for employees working at the MarkWest Utica EMG condensate laboratory to determine accurately the airborne concentration of benzene. Lab technicians performed daily activities that involved transferring, handling and processing benzene containing "condensate" in containers as part of ongoing, repetitive laboratory operations.
