Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.37(a)(2): Exit routes must be arranged so that employees will not have to travel toward a high hazard area, unless the path of travel is effectively shielded from the high hazard area by suitable partitions or other physical barriers. (a) On or about July 17, 2021 during an emergency evacuation, employees exited through door S2 at the direction of their supervisor, as it was the closest exit to the outdoor rally points for the ARG Packaging area, even though the source of the gas leak was at the overhead garage door at location S2, and the exit door not shielded from the hazards of a gas leak and potential fire or explosion.
