Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:

29 CFR 1926.95(a): Personal protective equipment, including personal protective equipment for eyes, face, head, and extremities, protective clothing, respiratory devices, and protective shields and barriers, was not provided, used, or maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition it was necessary by reason of hazards of processes or environment, chemical hazards, radiological hazards, or mechanical irritants encountered in a manner capable of causing injury or impairment in the function of any part of the body through absorption, inhalation, or physical contact. Each employee engaged in framing work using a pneumatic nail gun is not protected from eye injury by the use of eye protection. Frame Q does not ensure the use of eye protection while doing framing work with pneumatic guns. This violation was most recently observed at 119 Abbott Ave., Palisades Park NJ on the 2nd floor deck level - front where three employees were not wearing any eye protection while engaged in framing activities including the use of a pneumatic nail gun, on or about 4/23/16. To abate this violation the employer must ensure that its employees performing framing work are protected from eye injury and that no employee is allowed to be exposed to eye injuries without wearing proper eye protection. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, Frame Q must submit documents describing the steps it is taking to ensure compliance, including a description of how these steps protect its employees from eye injury. Frame Q LLC was previously cited for a violation of this occupational safety and health standard or its equivalent standard 29 CFR 1926.95(a), which was contained in OSHA inspection number 979064, citation number 01, item number 01 and was affirmed as a final order on 7/22/14, with respect to a workplace located at 18 Skyline Dr., Englewood Cliffs NJ.
