Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.124(g)(2): Employees who worked with liquids that could burn, irritate, or otherwise harm their skin were not provided with an emergency shower and eye-wash station close to the dipping and coating operation: Note: In place of this equipment, the employee may use a water hose that is at least 4 feet (1.22 m) long and at least 3/4 of an inch (18 mm) thick with a quick-opening valve and carrying a pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (1.62 k/cm2) or less. The employer does not provide employees who work with liquids that can irritate or otherwise harm their skin an emergency shower and eye-wash station close to the dipping and coating operation. This violation occurred on or about April 1, 2015, and times prior thereto, where employees in the rear of the shop were allowed to clean parts using Safety Kleen solvent in a parts washer without an emergency shower and eye-wash station or other washing means close to the dipping operation. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the abatement date, the employer must submit documentation describing the steps it is taking to ensure that employees who work with liquids that could burn, irritate, or otherwise harm their skin are provided with an emergency shower and eye-wash station close to the dipping and coating operation.
