General-duty citation text
29 CFR 1910.1053(f)(1): Methods of compliance-(1) Engineering and work practice controls. The employer shall use engineering and work practice controls to reduce and maintain employee exposure to respirable crystalline silica to or below the PEL, unless the employer can demonstrate that such controls are not feasible. Wherever such feasible engineering and work practice controls are not sufficient to reduce employee exposure to or below the PEL, the employer shall nonetheless use them to reduce employee exposure to the lowest feasible level and shall supplement them with the use of respiratory protection that complies with the requirements of paragraph (g) of this section. On or about December 19, 2024, an employee required to mix sand with paint to color it was overexposed to the PEL for respirable crystalline silica. The mixer was sampled on January 13 for 437 minutes and their 8-hour TWA was 85.58 micrograms/m3. The employer did not ensure all employees working with respirable crystalline silica were provided with adequate engineering and work practice controls to bring their exposure at or below the PEL. Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(c).
