Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.22(d)(1): The employer did not ensure that walking-working surfaces are inspected regularly and as necessary, and maintained in a safe condition: a) On or about January 24, 2024, and at times prior, the employer did not ensure the wooden platform which housed the water-filtering screen and pump machinery in the West Valve facility was maintained in a safe condition free of extensive wood degradation and biological growth. Employees are required to regularly access this platform to perform maintenance activities. Due to the potential structural failure of the platform when accessed, as well as running water underneath, this condition exposed employees to drowning hazards.
