Arsenic Exposure
Reference: B-5
PROCEDURES
The company will establish and implement a written program to reduce exposure to or below the permissible
exposure limit by means of engineering and work practice controls.
Written plans for the compliance program include the following:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
A description of each operation in which inorganic arsenic is emitted, e.g., machinery used,
material processed, controls in place, crew size, operating procedures, and maintenance
practices
Engineering plans and studies used to determine methods selected for controlling exposure to
inorganic arsenic
A report of the technology considered in meeting the permissible exposure limit
Monitoring data
A detailed schedule for implementation of the engineering controls and work practices that
cannot be implemented immediately and for the adaptation and implementation of any
additional engineering and work practices necessary to meet the permissible exposure limit.
Whenever the employer will not achieve the permissible exposure limit with engineering controls
and work practices by December 31, 1979, the employer shall include in the compliance plan an
analysis of the effectiveness of the various controls, shall install engineering controls and institute
work practices on the quickest schedule feasible, and shall include in the compliance plan and
implement a program to minimize the discomfort and maximize the effectiveness of respirator
use
Other relevant information
Written plans for the program will be submitted upon request to the Assistant Secretary and the Director and
will be available at the worksite for examination and copying by the Assistant Secretary, Director, any affected
worker, or authorized worker representatives. The plans required by this paragraph will be revised and updated
at least annually to reflect the current status of the program.
Respiratory protection
For workers who use respirators required by this section, the company will provide each worker an appropriate
respirator that complies with the requirements of this program.
Respirators must be used during, Periods necessary to install or implement feasible engineering or work-practice
controls, work operations, such as maintenance and repair activities for which the employer establishes that
engineering and work-practice controls are not feasible, work operations for which engineering, and workpractice controls are not yet sufficient to reduce worker exposures to or below the permissible exposure limit,
and emergencies.
