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 mg/m3, calculated as an 8-hour TWA:  a. On or about April 9th, 2026, an employee working in the fabrication floor was exposed to an 8 hour time weighted average of 209.2 ?g/m3 for crystalline silica, approximately 4.2 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 50 ?g/m3.  The exposure level was calculated for the 442 minute sampling period, with a zero exposure increment for the unsampled period of 38 minutes.  In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d), abatement documentation is required for this violation.

29 CFR  1910.1053(f)(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.  (A)  On or about April 9th, 2026, an employee working in the fabrication floor was exposed to an 8 hour time weighted average of 209.2 ?g/m3 for crystalline silica, approximately 4.2 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 50 ?g/m3. The exposure level was calculated for the 442 minute sampling period, with a zero exposure increment for the unsampled period of 38 minutes. The employer did not use engineering and work practice controls to reduce the employee's exposure to lead below the PEL.  In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d), abatement documentation is required for this violation.
