Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
OSH ACT of 1970 Section (5)(a)(1): The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which was free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to chemical incompatibility hazards. On or about April 10, 2015: Ventron Management employees working near the pool chemical storage area located at the Shadow Lake Apartment Complex were exposed to a violent chemical reaction and explosion hazards from the improper storage of chemicals. Incompatible chemicals such as muriatic acid and chlorine (powder and tablets) were stored next to one another. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard is to segregate the chemicals to separate areas of the pool storage room to ensure that the chemicals do not come in contact with one another.
