PROPOSED RULES

DEPARTMENT OF

LABOR AND INDUSTRIES

[Filed February 16, 1998, 11:33 a.m.]

Original Notice.

Preproposal statement of inquiry was filed as WSR 97-24-070.

Title of Rule: Air contaminants, chapter 296-62 WAC, General occupational health standards.

Purpose: The department began review of WAC 296-62-07515 Control of chemical agents, Table 1: Limits for Air Contaminant Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) after OSHA published correcting amendments August 4, 1997, in the Federal Register (Volume 61, Number 149, page 42018). A federal-initiated correction is proposed that will add the abbreviation "(DBCP)" to 1,2-Dibromo-d-chloropropane.

The department is also proposing state-initiated amendments. The chromic acid and chromates PEL will be changed in order to be at least as effective as OSHA. Recently, the chromic acid and chromates PEL was amended from 0.1 mg/m³ ceiling limit to 0.1 mg/m³ time weighted average in error. This amendment became effective November 5, 1997. The current proposal returns the PEL to a ceiling limit.

Based on the available health data, the department is also proposing changes to mercury (aryl and inorganic) PEL in order to provide the appropriate protection to worker health. Recently, the mercury PEL was amended from 0.1 mg/m³ ceiling limit to 0.1 mg/m³ time weighted average. This amendment became effective November 5, 1997. The current proposal returns the PEL to a ceiling limit.

Another state-initiated proposed amendment includes the addition of a skin designation to carbon tetrachloride to make it consistent with the health data. This will not establish additional compliance requirements because of the current personal protective equipment requirements for use of carbon tetrachloride. Footnote h/ is updated to reflect the current American Conference of Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) definition for respirable fraction (found in the 1996 Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances and Physical Agents and Biological Exposure Indices Appendix D: Particle Size-Selective Sampling Criteria for Airborne Particulate Matter Table III: Respirable). A footnote is added to include this same definition for all respirable fraction PELs. Another footnote is added to clarify arsenic, inorganic compounds (as As) PEL listed in Table 1.

Amended Sections:

WAC 296-62-07515 Control of chemical agents, a federal-initiated proposed amendment is made to add the abbreviation "(DBCP)" to Dibromo-d-chloropropane. It does not establish new compliance requirements.

State-initiated proposed amendments are being made to Table 1: Limits for Air Contaminants Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL). The following amendments establish new compliance requirements.

Chromic acid and chromates (as CrO₃) PEL is changed from 0.1 mg/m³ TWA (time weighted average) to 0.1 mg/m³ ceiling limit making this PEL identical to OSHA's rule (Code of Federal Regulations 1910.1000 Table Z-1 and Z-2) and WISHA at least as effective as OSHA. This reverses a recent change made in error, which took effect November 5, 1997.

Mercury (aryl and inorganic) (as Hg) PEL is changed from 0.1 mg/m³ TWA to 0.1 mg/m³ ceiling limit which makes this PEL identical to OSHA's rule (Code of Federal Regulations 1910.1000 Table Z-1 and Z-2) and provides appropriate protection of the health of workers where these chemicals are used.

The following state-initiated amendments do not establish additional compliance requirements.

A skin designation is added to carbon tetrachloride.

Two new footnotes are added.

Other minor amendments are made to correct errors in references and improve the clarity of information presented.

WAC 296-62-07477 Appendix C--Questions and answers, (appendix to methylene chloride standard located in Part G of chapter 296-62 WAC, General occupational health standards). State-initiated proposed amendments remove the word "Solution" from Figure 2. This is a minor correction that does not establish additional compliance requirements.

Statutory Authority for Adoption: Chapter 49.17 RCW.

Statute Being Implemented: RCW 49.17.010, [49.17].040, [49.17].050, [49.17].060.

Summary: See Purpose above.

Reasons Supporting Proposal: See Purpose above.

Name of Agency Personnel Responsible for Drafting: Tracy Spencer, Tumwater, (360) 902-5530; Implementation and Enforcement: Michael A. Silverstein, Tumwater, (360) 902-5495.

Name of Proponent: Department of Labor and Industries, governmental.

Rule is necessary because of federal law, Federal Register Vol. 62, No. 149, p. 42018.

Explanation of Rule, its Purpose, and Anticipated Effects: See Purpose above.

Proposal Changes the Following Existing Rules: See Purpose above.

No small business economic impact statement has been prepared under chapter 19.85 RCW. The proposed rule would not place a more than minor economic impact on business. Thus, the department is not required to prepare a small business economic impact statement.

RCW 34.05.328 applies to this rule adoption. The proposed rule does meet the significant rule criteria because this rule making does introduce new requirements. The protection offered by the rule has strengthened in regards to mercury (aryl and inorganic) and chromic acid and chromates. But the additional requirements for chromic acid and chromates are because WISHA is not at least as effective as the OSHA rule. Therefore chromic acid and chromates is exempted from the significant rule criteria under RCW 34.05.328 (5)(b)(iii). In order to provide appropriate worker protect, mercury (aryl and inorganic) requirements are strengthened based on the available health data.

Hearing Location: Department of Labor and Industries Building, Auditorium, 7273 Linderson Way, Tumwater, WA, on March 24, 1998, at 9:30 a.m.

Assistance for Persons with Disabilities: Contact Linda Dausener by March 13, 1998, at (360) 902-5516.

WAC 296-62-07477 Appendix C.

Questions and Answers

Methylene Chloride Control in Furniture Stripping

(Adapted from NIOSH publication No. 93-133)

Introduction

This appendix answers commonly asked questions about the hazards from exposure to methylene chloride. It also describes approaches to controlling methylene chloride exposure during the most common furniture stripping processes. Although these approaches were developed and field tested by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health, each setting requires custom installation because of the different air flow interferences at each site.

1. What is the Stripping Solution Base?

The most common active ingredient in paint removers is a chemical called methylene chloride. Methylene chloride is present in the paint remover to penetrate, blister, and finally lift the old finish. Other chemicals in paint removers work to accelerate the stripping process, to retard evaporation, and to act as thickening agents. These other ingredients may include: methanol, toluene, acetone, or paraffin.¹

2. Is Methylene Chloride Bad for Me?

Exposure to methylene chloride may cause short-term health effects or long-term health effects.

Short-Term (Acute) Health Effects

Exposure to high levels of paint removers over short periods of time can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, mucous membranes, and respiratory tracts. Other symptoms of high exposure are dizziness, headache, and lack of coordination. The occurrence of any of these symptoms indicates that you are being exposed to high levels of methylene chloride. At the onset of any of these symptoms, you should leave the work area, get some fresh air, and determine why the levels were high.

A portion of inhaled methylene chloride is converted by the body to carbon monoxide, which can lower the blood's ability to carry oxygen. When the solvent is used properly, however, the levels of carbon monoxide should not be hazardous. Individuals with cardiovascular or pulmonary health problems should check with their physician before using the paint stripper. Individuals experiencing severe symptoms such as shortness of breath or chest pains should obtain proper medical care immediately.¹

Long-Term (Chronic) Health Effects

Methylene chloride has been shown to cause cancer in certain laboratory animal tests. The available human studies do not provide the necessary information to determine whether methylene chloride causes cancer in humans. However, as a result of the animal studies, methylene chloride is considered a potential occupational carcinogen. There is also considerable indirect evidence to suggest that workers exposed to methylene chloride may be at an increased risk of developing ischemic heart disease. Therefore, it is prudent to minimize exposure to solvent vapors.³

3. What does the Methylene Chloride Standard Require?

On January 10, 1997, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration published a new regulation for methylene chloride. The standard establishes an eight-hour time-weighted average exposure limit of 25 parts per million (ppm), as well as a short-term exposure limit of 125 ppm determined from a 15 minute sampling period. That is a reduction from the current WISHA limit of 100 ppm. The standard also sets a 12.5 ppm action level (a level that would trigger periodic exposure monitoring and medical surveillance provisions).² WISHA adopted an identical standard on [date].

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recommends that methylene chloride be regarded as a "potential occupational carcinogen." NIOSH further recommends that occupational exposure to methylene chloride be controlled to the lowest feasible limit. This recommendation was based on the observation of cancers and tumors in both rats and mice exposed to methylene chloride in air.⁵

4. How Can I Be Exposed to Methylene Chloride while Stripping Furniture?

Methylene chloride can be inhaled when vapors are in the air. Inhalation of the methylene chloride vapors is generally the most important source of exposure. Methylene chloride evaporates quicker than most chemicals. The odor threshold of methylene chloride is 300 ppm.⁶ Therefore, once you smell methylene chloride, you are being over-exposed. Pouring, moving, or stirring the chemical will increase the rate of evaporation.

Methylene chloride can be absorbed through the skin either by directly touching the chemical or through your gloves. Methylene chloride can be swallowed if it gets on your hands, clothes, or beard, or if food or drinks become contaminated.

5. How Can Breathing Exposures be Reduced?

Install a Local Exhaust Ventilation System

Local exhaust ventilation can be used to control exposures. Local exhaust ventilation systems capture contaminated air from the source before it spreads into the workers' breathing zone.⁷ If engineering controls are not effective, only a self-contained breathing apparatus equipped with a full face piece and operated in a positive-pressure mode or a supplied-air respirator affords the level of protection. Air-purifying respirators such as gas masks with organic vapor canisters can only be used for escape situations.⁸ These gas masks are not suitable for normal work situations because methylene chloride is poorly absorbed by the canister filtering material.

A local exhaust system consists of the following: a hood, a fan, ductwork, and a replacement air system.^9,10,11 Two processes are commonly used in furniture stripping: flow-over and dip tanks. For flow-over systems there are two common local exhaust controls for methylene chloride - a slot hood and a down draft hood. A slot hood of different design is most often used for dip tanks. (See Figures 1, 2, and 3.)

The hood is made of sheet metal and connected to the tank. All designs require a centrifugal fan to exhaust the fumes, ductwork connecting the hood and the fan, and a replacement air system to bring conditioned air into the building to replace the air exhausted.

In constructing or designing a slot or down draft hood, use the following data:

Safe Work Practices

Workers can lower exposures by decreasing their access to the methylene chloride.¹²

1) Turn on dip tank control system several minutes before entering the stripping area.

2) Avoid unnecessary transferring or moving of the stripping solution.

3) Keep face out of the air stream between the solution-covered furniture and the exhaust system.

4) Keep face out of vapor zone above the stripping solution and the dip tank.

5) Retrieve dropped items with a long handled tool.

6) Keep the solution-recycling system off when not in use. Cover reservoir for recycling system.

7) Cover dip tank when not in use.

8) Provide adequate ventilation for rinse area.

How Can Skin Exposures Be Reduced?

Skin exposures can be reduced by wearing gloves whenever you are in contact with the stripping solution.¹³

1) Two gloves should be worn. The inner glove should be made from polyethylene/ethylene vinyl alcohol (e.g., Silver Shield^®, or 4H^®). This material, however, does not provide good physical resistance against tears, so an outer glove made from nitrile or neoprene should be worn.

2) Shoulder-length gloves will be more protective.

3) Change gloves before the break-through time occurs. Rotate several pairs of gloves throughout the day. Let the gloves dry in a warm well ventilated area at least over night before reuse.

4) Keep gloves clean by rinsing often. Keep gloves in good condition. Inspect the gloves before use for pin-holes, cracks, thin spots, and stiffer than normal or sticky surfaces.

5) Wear a face shield or goggles to protect face and eyes.

6. What Other Problems Can Occur?

Stripping Solution Temperature

Most manufacturers of stripping solution recommend controlling the solution to a temperature of 70F. This temperature is required for the wax in the solution to form a vapor barrier on top of the solution to keep the solution from evaporating too quickly. If the temperature is too high, the wax will not form the vapor barrier. If it is too cold, the wax will solidify and separate from the solvent causing increased evaporation. Use a belt heater to heat the solution to the correct temperature. Call your solution manufacturer for the correct temperature for your solution.¹⁴

Make-Up Air

Air will enter a building in an amount to equal the amount of air exhausted whether or not provision is made for this replacement. If a local exhaust system is added a make-up or replacement air system must be added to replace the air removed. Without a replacement air system, air will enter the building through cracks causing uncontrollable eddy currents. If the building perimeter is tightly sealed, it will prevent the air from entering and severely decrease the amount exhausted from the ventilation system. This will cause the building to be under negative pressure and decrease the performance of the exhaust system.¹⁵

Dilution Ventilation

With general or dilution ventilation, uncontaminated air is moved through the workroom by means of fans or open windows, which dilutes the pollutants in the air. Dilution ventilation does not provide effective protection to other workers and does not confine the methylene chloride vapors to one area.¹⁶

Phosgene Poisoning from Use of Kerosene Heaters

Do not use kerosene heaters or other open flame heaters while stripping furniture. Use of kerosene heaters in connection with methylene chloride can create lethal or dangerous concentrations of phosgene. Methylene chloride vapor is mixed with the air used for the combustion of kerosene in kerosene stoves. The vapor thus passes through the flames, coming into close contact with carbon monoxide at high temperatures. Any chlorine formed by decomposition may, under these conditions, react with carbon monoxide and form phosgene.¹⁷

[Open Style:Columns On]

Notes: a/ Parts of vapor or gas per million parts of contaminated air by volume at 25`C and 760 mm. Hg. pressure (torr.).

b/ Milligrams of substance per cubic meter of air. When a numerical entry for a substance is in the mg/m³ column and not in the ppm column, then the number in the mg/m³ column is exact. When numerical entries for a substance are in both the ppm and mg/m³ columns, then the number in the ppm column is exact and the number in the mg/m³ column may be rounded off.

c/ Duration is for 15 minutes, unless otherwise noted.

d/ The final benzene standard in WAC 296-62-07523 applies to all occupational exposures to benzene except some sub-segments of industry where exposures are consistently under the action level (i.e., distribution and sale of fuels, sealed containers and pipelines, coke production, oil and gas drilling and production, natural gas processing, and the percentage exclusion for liquid mixtures).

e/ This 8-hour TWA applies to respirable dust as measured by a vertical elutriator cotton dust sampler or equivalent instrument. The time-weighted average applies to the cotton waste processing operations of waste recycling (sorting, blending, cleaning, and willowing) and garretting. See also WAC 296-62-14533 for cotton dust limits applicable to other sectors.

f/ As determined from breathing-zone air samples.

g/ Total dust formula for Silica (as quartz) is:

30mg/m³

% Si02 + 3

h/ Both concentration and percent quartz for the application of this limit are to be determined from the fraction passing a size-selector with the following characteristics:

Aerodynamic diameter

Notes: i/ The CAS number is for information only. Enforcement is based on the substance name. For an entry covering more than one metal compound measured as the metal, the CAS number for the metal is given -- not CAS numbers for the individual compounds.

j/ Compliance with the subtilisins PEL is assessed by sampling with a high volume sampler (600-800 liters per minute) for at least 60 minutes.

m/ Sampling for the carbon monoxide ceiling shall be averaged over 5 minutes but an instantaneous reading over 1500 ppm shall not be exceeded.

n/ This PEL only applies to the exceptions to WAC 296-62-07347, Inorganic Arsenic.

o/ The concentration of respirable particulate for the application of this limit is determined from the fraction passing a size-selector with the following characteristics.
