Specifically, the packaging operation which bagged diatomaceous earth products was studied. A total of 375 hourly and 95 salaried employees worked at the facility. Observations included engineering controls, work practices, and personal protective equipment. Exhaust ventilation was provided at each manual bag filling station. There was a capture hood around each packer spout and a hood with exhaust ventilation around each packer unit. Inside and near the top of each press well, there were slots for exhaust ventilation designed to capture airborne dust generated during pallet loading.
