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

29 CFR 1910.1200(e)(1)(i): Employers did not develop, implement, and maintain at each workplace, a written hazard communication program which at least describes how the criteria specified in paragraphs (f), (g), and (h) of this section for labels and other forms of warning, safety data sheets, and employee information and training will be met, and which also includes the following: a list of the hazardous chemicals known to be present using a product identifier that is referenced on the appropriate safety data sheet (the list may be compiled for the workplace as a whole or for individual work areas). In the service and detailing department at 865 Quaker Hwy. Uxbridge MA 01569: On or about May 17, 2024, at times prior, and at times after, hazard communication program safety data sheet binder did not include a current list of hazardous chemicals as required. A list of hazardous chemicals known to be present was not available at the time of the inspection. Hazardous chemicals present in the work area and used by detailing and service technicians include: 1. Acrysol, (multiple 1 qt containers found in storage and in use) which contains a mix of Xylene (CAS-No: 1330-20-7), Ethyl benzene (CAS-No:100-41-4), Toluene (CAS-No: 108-88-3) and Solvent naphtha(petroleum), light aliphatic, (CAS-No: 64742-89-8). 2. Meguiar's (D101) all-purpose cleaner: (full dispensing system in place, multiple size containers and refillable bottles) Contains Alkoxy Alcohol (CAS-No.111-76-2) 3. Meguiar's (D120) glass cleaner: (full dispensing system in place, multiple size containers and refillable bottles) Contains 2-Butoxyethanol (CAS-No. 111-76-2 ) and Isopropyl Alcohol (CAS-No. 67-63-0) Although the Area Office held a conference with the employer prior to issuing this citation and the others now being issued in this inspection, the issuance of these citations does not represent the end of the inspection. The inspection is still open, due to the employer's failure to comply with the subpoenas that OSHA issued and served during the inspection. The Acting Secretary of Labor has filed a petition for subpoena enforcement in the U.S. District Court of Massachusetts, as part of which the Asking Secretary has asked that the statute of limitations for OSHA to issue citations be tolled.
