General-duty citation text
29 CFR 1910.1000(c): An employee(s) was exposed to crystalline silica in excess of the 8-hour time weighted average limits listed in Table Z-3: a.) The employer did not ensure that employees were not exposed to crystalline silica in excess of the 8-hour time-weighted average listed in Table Z-3. This violation occurred on or about October 24, 2017 when cutting, grinding and polishing of piping exposed an employee to respirable dust containing crystalline silica in excess of the calculated 8-hour time-weighted average of 0.28 milligrams per cubic meter of air. The employee was monitored for 478 minutes while grinding and cutting surfaces on piping and was exposed to 0.75 milligrams per cubic meter of respirable dust containing crystalline silica. The 8-hour time-weighted average of 0.28 milligrams per cubic meter of air was calculated using 478 minute exposure and zero exposure for the remaining 2 minutes.
