Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.25(b)(5)(i): When a door or a gate opens directly on a stairway, a platform is provided, and the swing of the door or gate does not reduce the platform's effective usable depth to less than 20 inches (51 cm) for platforms installed before January 17, 2017. On or about 5/10/2017, the door that swings open to the platform leading to a set of stairs used to enter the indoor tank farm in building 6 did not create a usable depth. The 36 inch wide door opened onto a platform that was 35 inches in width and 38 inches in depth, leaving less than 20 inches of usable depth. This condition exposed employees to trip and fall hazards. Abatement certification is required for this item in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1903.19(c).
