Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: REFINERY
29 CFR 1910.23(a)(2): Every ladderway floor opening or platform shall be guarded by a standard railing with standard toeboard on all exposed sides (except at entrance to opening), with the passage through the railing either provided with a swinging gate or so offset that a person cannot walk directly into the opening. (A) On 9/9/10, a safety inspection was accomplished by the Compliance Officer at Big West Oil LLC, 333 W.Center St., North Salt Lake. During the inspection, the Compliance Officer observed in the HF Alkylation and HDS unit of the refinery that the ladder landings were not protected by a fixed barrier or gates to prevent employees from walking through the openings. The Compliance Officer measured the heights of the opened end platforms to the lower level, by counting the ladder rungs, and the heights ranged from 6 ft. to 20 ft. Management stated that they have the materials to install the barriers. Without the barriers in place, employees could sustain serious injuries from 20 ft. falls to the lower level.
