29 CFR  1926.1153(g)(1): Written exposure control plan. The employer shall establish and implement a written exposure control plan that contains at least the following elements:  a) On or about September 24, 2025, the employer failed to establish and implement a written exposure control plan for employees performing concrete curb installation at the Panda Express drive-thru. Employees working in the south side parking lot, mixed and handled Quikrete Fast-Setting and High Strength concrete products, which generate respirable crystalline silica dust during use. The employer did not provide a written plan describing the tasks that involve exposure to respirable crystalline silica, the engineering controls, work practices, and respiratory protection used for those tasks, the housekeeping measures in place to limit exposure, or the procedures to restrict access to affected work areas. As a result, employees were exposed to inhalation hazards from respirable crystalline silica without the protections of a written exposure control plan.
