29 CFR 1910.147(c)(4)(ii)(D): Specific requirements for testing a machine or equipment to determine and verify the effectiveness of lockout devices, tagout devices, and other energy control measures. On or about January 5, 2021: Employees performing maintenance duties are exposed to hazards such as but not limited to sulfuric acid (93%). The employer used water to test the line prior to introducing the acid into the line. The pressure of the exothermic reaction of sulfuric acid and residual water caused the pump to fail spraying 93% sulfuric acid onto the maintenance employee, resulting in chemical burns to his neck and torso.
