Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.24(i): The employer does not ensure the vertical clearance above the stair tread to an overhead obstruction was at least 7 feet measured from the leading edge of the tread. The violation occurred outside of the Main Ammonia Refrigeration Room on or about October 8, 2014 and at times prior thereto. Employees were exposed to a struck-by and fall hazard when the employer failed to ensure at least a 7-foot vertical overhead clearance where pipe obstructions hindered access at the top of the stair platform to the elevated ammonia refrigeration receiver. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the abatement date the employer must submit documentation showing it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps it is taking to ensure vertical clearance above the stair tread to an overhead obstruction was at least 7 feet measured from the leading edge of the tread.
