Section 5213 - Acrylonitrile

(a) Scope and Application.

(1) This section applies to all occupational exposures to acrylonitrile (AN), Chemical Abstracts Service Registry No. 107131, except as provided in Sections 5213(a)(2) and (a)(3).

(2) This section does not apply to exposures which result solely from the processing, use, and handling of the following materials:

(A) Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resins, styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) resins, nitrile barrier resins, solid nitrile elastomers, and acrylic and modacrylic fibers, when these listed materials are in the form of finished polymers, and products fabricated from such finished polymers;

(B) Materials made from and/or containing AN for which objective data is reasonably relied upon to demonstrate that the material is not capable of releasing AN in airborne concentrations in excess of 1 part per million of air by volume (1 ppm) as an 8-hour time-weighted average, under the expected conditions of processing, use, and handling which will cause the greatest possible release; and

(C) Solid materials made from and/or containing AN which will not be heated above 170° F during handling, use, or processing.

(3) An employer relying upon exemption under Section 5213(a)(2)(B) shall maintain records of the objective data supporting that exemption, and of the basis of the employer's reliance on the data, as provided in Section 5213(q).

(4) The requirements of this section are subject to the provisions of the Occupational Carcingens Control Act of 1976 (Health and Safety Code, Division 20, Chapter 2).

(b) Definitions.

Acrylonitrile or AN. Acrylonitrile monomer; chemical formula, CH₂ = CHCN.

Action level. A concentration of 1 part AN per million parts of air by volume (1 ppm) as an 8-hour time-weighted average.

Authorized Person. Any person specifically authorized by the employer and whose duties require the person to be present in areas where AN concentrations exceed the permissible exposure limit and any person entering this area as a designated representative of employees exercising an opportunity to observe employee exposure monitoring pursuant to Title 8 Cal. Admin. Code 340.1.

Chief. The Chief of the Division of Occupational Safety and Health, P.O. Box 420603, San Francisco, California 94142.

Decontamination. Treatment of materials and surfaces by water washdown, ventilation, or other means, to assure that the materials will not expose employees to airborne concentrations of AN above 1 ppm.

Director. The Director, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, U. S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, 5600 Fisher Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20852.

Emergency. Any occurrence such as, but not limited to, equipment failure, rupture of containers, or failure of control equipment, which results in an unexpected massive release of AN.

Liquid AN. Acrylonitrile monomer in liquid form, and liquid or semiliquid polymer intermediates, including slurries, suspensions, emulsions, and solutions, produced during the polymerization of AN.

Qualitative fit testing. A procedure which tests for leakage at the juncture of the respirator facepiece and the wearer's face by determining whether or not the odor of a test agent is detectable by the respirator wearer while exposed to a test atmosphere.

Quantitative fit testing. A procedure using sophisticated instrumentation which measures the concentration of a test agent inside a respirator while worn in a test atmosphere of known concentration; the ratio of the concentration of the agent in the test atmosphere to its concentration inside the respirator provides a numerical value (the protection factor) indicative of the degree of protection afforded the wearer by the respirator.

(c) Exposure Limits.

(1) Permissible Exposure Limits--Inhalation.

(A) Time-Weighted Average Limit (TWA). The employer shall assure that no employee is exposed to a concentration in excess of 2 parts acrylonitrile per million parts of air by volume (2 ppm) as an 8-hour time-weighted average.

(B) Ceiling Limit. The employer shall assure that no employee is exposed to a concentration in excess of 10 parts acrylonitrile per million parts of air by volume (10 ppm) as averaged over any 15-minute period during the working day.

(2) Dermal and Eye Exposure. The employer shall assure that no employee is exposed to skin or eye contact with liquid AN.

(d) Reporting of Use and Emergencies. See section 5203.

(e) Exposure Monitoring.

(1) General. Determinations of exposure levels shall be made from air samples that are representative of each employee's exposure to AN over an 8-hour period. (For the purposes of this subsection, employee exposure is that which would occur if the employee were not using a respirator.)

(2) Initial Monitoring. Within 30 days of the effective date of this standard (or within 30 days of the introduction of AN into the workplace), each employer who has a place of employment in which AN is present shall monitor each such workplace and work operation to accurately determine the concentrations of airborne AN to which employees may be exposed. Such monitoring may be done on a representative basis, provided that the employer can demonstrate that these determinations are representative of employee exposures.

NOTE: Monitoring conducted under the provisions of the temporary emergency standard for AN may be relied upon to meet this initial monitoring requirement.

(3) Frequency.

(A) If the monitoring required by this subsection reveals employee exposure to be below the action level, the employer may discontinue monitoring for that employee.

(B) If the monitoring required by this subsection reveals employee exposure to be at or above the action level but below the permissible exposure limits, the employer shall repeat monitoring for each such employee within three months. Quarterly measurements shall be continued until at least two consecutive measurements taken at least 7 days apart, are below the action level and thereafter monitoring may be discontinued for that employee.

(C) If the monitoring required by this subsection reveals employee exposure to be in excess of the permissible exposure limits, the employer shall repeat these determinations for each such employee at least monthly. The employer shall continue these monthly measurements until at least two consecutive measurements, taken at least seven (7) days apart, are below the permissible exposure limits, and thereafter the employer shall monitor at least quarterly.

(4) Additional Monitoring. Whenever there has been a production, process, control, or personnel change which may result in new or increased exposures to AN, or whenever the employer has any reason to suspect a change which may result in new or increased exposures to AN, additional monitoring which complies with this subsection shall be conducted.

(5) Employee Notification.

(A) Within five (5) working days after the receipt of monitoring results, the employer shall notify each employee in writing of the results which represent that employee's exposure.

(B) Whenever the results indicate that the representative employee exposure exceeds the permissible exposure limits, the employer shall include in the written notice a statement that the permissible exposure limits were exceeded and a description of the corrective action being taken to reduce exposure to or below the permissible exposure limits.

(6) Accuracy of Measurement. The method of measurement shall be accurate, to a confidence level of 95 percent, to within plus or minus 35 percent for concentrations of AN at or above the permissible exposure limits, and to within plus or minus 50 percent for concentrations of AN below the permissible exposure limits.

(f) Regulated Areas.

(1) The employer shall establish regulated areas where AN concentrations are in excess of the permissible exposure limits.

(2) Regulated areas shall be demarcated and segregated from the rest of the workplace, in any manner that minimizes the number of persons who will be exposed to AN.
