29 CFR 1910.132(d)(1)(i): When the employer had assessed the workplace hazard(s) and determined that hazard(s) were present, the employer did not select and/or use the types of personal protective equipment that would protect the affected employee from the hazard.

On 1/5/21, an employee received chemical burns to his back, neck and right side of his torso when the pump near the valve he was observing failed/cracked from the pressure build-up of acid mixed with water (exothermic reaction) in the line near the pump. The employer did not properly assess the work hazard.
