Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.101(b): "Compressed gases." The in-plant handling, storage, and utilization of all compressed gases in cylinders, portable tanks, rail tankcars, or motor vehicle cargo tanks was not in accordance with Compressed Gas Association Pamphlet P-1-1965, which was incorporated by reference as specified in Sec. 1910.6: Inside the warehouse next to the rollup door to the exterior dock on or about March 5, 2014, and at times prior thereto, a helium gas bottle was not stored in accordance with CGA Pamphlet P-1-1965 paragraph 3.3.8 which states in part: Protect cylinders from any object that will produce a cut or other abrasion in the surface of the metal. Do not store cylinders near elevators or gangways, or in locations where heavy moving objects may strike or fall on them. The helium gas bottle bottle was subject to being struck by forklifts that were driven through the rollup door opening. The helium was used to fill balloons for events at the casino and hotel.
