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

29 CFR 1926.102(a)(1): The employer did not ensure that each affected employee used appropriate eye or face protection when exposed to eye or face hazards from flying particles, molten metal, liquid chemicals, acids or caustic liquids, chemical gases or vapors, or potentially injurious light radiation. The employer is failing to protect employees from eye hazards due to flying particles. The condition was most recently observed on or about October 27, 2023, when 1 employee was observed operating pneumatic nail guns at 569 Crystal Stream Drive in Wentzville, Missouri. The employer did not ensure that each affected employee used appropriate eye protection. The employee was observed operating a pneumatic nail gun without eye protection and thus was exposed to eye hazards.
