29 CFR 1910.1053(c):The employer did not ensure that no employee was exposed to an airborne concentration of respirable crystalline silica in excess of 50 ug/m3, calculated as an 8-hour TWA. a) On or about February 19, 2025, and at times prior, employees were exposed to respirable crystalline silica above the OSHA PEL and the Action Level during slab fabrication operations. The employer did not conduct exposure assessments for employees who may reasonably be expected to be exposed to respirable crystalline silica at or above 50 ug/m3. OSHA conducted exposure assessments on May 16, 2025, and found an employee sampled that was exposed to an 8-hour Time-Weighted Average of 156 micrograms per cubic meter of respirable crystalline silica, above the Action Level of 25 ug/m3 and the OSHA PEL of 50 ug/m3.

29 CFR 1910.1053(f)(1):The employer did not 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 were 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: a) On or about February 19, 2025, and at times prior, at times prior, the employer did not have sufficient engineering controls where employees were exposed to respirable crystalline silica above the action level and OSHA PEL. OSHA conducted exposure assessments on May 16, 2025, and found an employee sampled that was exposed to an 8-hour Time-Weighted Average of 156 micrograms per cubic meter of respirable crystalline silica, above the Action Level of 25 micrograms per cubic meter and the OSHA PEL of 50 ug/m3. The employees use water while conducting slab fabrication operations, but the water usage was not sufficient enough to bring the exposure levels below the OSHA PEL and action level.
