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

Nevada Revised Statute 618.375(1): Every employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which was free from recognized hazards that were causing or were likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees: The employer did not ensure that a valve protection cap was in place as follows: a.On the first floor of the Blackstone Hotel construction site, a green nitrogen cylinder was standing behind the entrance door. The cylinder was used to ensure that they were no leaks in the copper lines that run from the evaporative cooler to the condenser. The nitrogen cylinder did not have a valve protection cap located over the pressure valve nozzle. Reference: CGA P-1-2000-Page 8, 3.4.1 Valve Protection Caps: Valve protection caps for a cylinder designed to accept a cap shall always be in place and hand tight except when cylinders are secured, in use, or connected for use. A feasible means of abatement would be to follow the Compressed Gas Association guidelines and place a cap over the pressure valve nozzle.
