Dear Seth,
Purpose
This letter should serve to confirm my recent phone discussion with you on the above date. The
purpose was to review the results of the industrial hygiene survey that was conducted on
November 7th, 2024. The objective of the survey was to determine employee exposures of
airborne concentration levels of dust during mixing, cleaning, and packing operations at the
3650 Sacramento Drive, San Luis Obispo location.
Summary
We discussed the airborne exposure levels and limits of total dust, respirable dust, and silica
during mixing, cleaning, and packing operations of all rooms monitored. There were 8
employees monitored in 6 separate rooms. The report results will help determine existing
exposures and assure that there are adequate controls to reduce the measured contaminant or
dust.
Conclusions
Samples taken during the survey were considered representative of the worker's exposure to
the specific dust contaminant measured on the day of the sampling. As mentioned, all survey
results were under the recommended exposure limits for respirable dust, total dust and silica
based on the 8-hour time weighted average. These results verifies that adequate controls are in
place with no further recommendations at this time. I included the lab analysis results in the
attached table and letter. An industrial hygiene survey report will be generated to summarize the
entire process and will be forthcoming.
Recommendations
There are no new recommendations from this visit
Future Service
Seth, the complete survey report will be forthcoming and will include the analysis, results, and
assessment conditions. Please feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,
Harold Tuatoo
