Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(e)(3)(i): The PHA did not address the hazards of the process. a) Green Lines, Multi Based Process, Remote Blocker Building: On or about February 28, 2025, the employer failed to address the hazard of the loss of inerting in the PHA. Failure to address the loss of inerting in the preblocking process can result in heat generation and autoignition of the propellant exposing the employee to explosion hazards. b) Green Lines, Multi Based Process, Remote Blocker Building: On or about February 28, 2025, the employer failed to address the hazards of adding the shuck back into the preblocker after a cycle has been stopped. Opening the blocker and adding the shuck back into the blocker without the use of inerting gas could create air pockets resulting in heat generation and the autoignition of the propellant exposing the employee to explosion hazards. Abatement certification required within 10 days after abatement date. The certification shall include a statement that abatement is complete, date and method of abatement, and states that employees and their representatives were informed of this abatement.
