Respiratory Protection
Fresh air will be the only method currently that will prevent airborne exposure and eye exposure when being
exposed to the PEL.
Skin Protection
If exposure or likely exposure is there, then appropriate skin protection such as Tyvek and gloves (i.e., disposable
type PPE).
No PPE that is contaminated shall be removed from the job site, except by those workers whose job it is
to launder, clean, maintain, or dispose of such clothing and equipment (all clothing/equipment being
removed for laundering, cleaning, maintenance, or disposal shall be transported in sealed, impermeable
bags or other closed, impermeable containers).
Removal of chromium (VI) from protective clothing and equipment by way of blowing, shaking, or any
other means that disperses chromium (VI) into the air or onto a worker’s body is prohibited.
Access to regulated areas will be limited to those workers with the authority to be there. Regulated
areas will be marked as such.
A medical surveillance program including notifications and medical follow-ups will be required for any
worker who is exposed at no cost to the worker (medical examination to include: medical work history,
with emphasis on: past, present, and anticipated future exposure to chromium (VI); any history of
respiratory system dysfunction; any history of asthma, dermatitis, skin ulceration, or nasal septum
perforation; and smoking status and history; physical examination of the skin and respiratory tract; and
any additional tests deemed appropriate by the examining physician).
If any worker exposure exceeds the PEL, The Company will notify the worker within 15 days in writing of
the exposure.
