29 CFR 1915.12(c)(2): Ventilation in a space was not provided at volumes and flow rates that ensured that air concentrations were maintained within the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL): a) LRI assembly area, on or about 3/4/14: An employee MIG welding inside the hull of an LRI, an enclosed space, was exposed to an 8 hour time weighted average (TWA) of 35.9 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3) of airborne aluminum or 2.4 times the permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 15 mg/m3 during the 420 minutes sampling period. A zero increment was included for the 60 minutes not sampled. Adequate ventilation was not provided to maintain exposure levels within the PEL. b) LRI assembly area, on or about 3/4/14: An employee MIG welding inside the hull of an LRI, an enclosed space, was exposed to an 8 hour TWA of 43.8 mg/m3 of airborne aluminum, or 2.9 times the PEL of 15 mg/m3 during the 420 minute sampling period. A zero increment was included for the 60 minutes not sampled. Adequate ventilation was not provided to maintain exposure levels within the PEL. c) LRI assembly area, on or about 3/4/14: An employee MIG welding inside the hull of an LRI, an enclosed space, was exposed to an 8 hour TWA of 29.7 miiligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3) of airborne respirable aluminum particulate, or 5.9 times the PEL of 5 mg/m3 during the 310 minute sampling period. A zero increment was included for the 170 minutes not sampled. Adequate ventilation was not provided to maintain exposure levels within the PEL. Abatement will be multi-step as follows: Step 1: Ventilation will be selected that will reduce exposures as low as reasonably achievable. Employees will be provided with respirators, as an interim measure, and be included in a respiratory protection program, containing employee medical evaluations, fit-testing and training. (30 days) Step 2: Ventilation will be tested for effectiveness and verification through air monitoring.
