Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.106(d)(2)(iii): Flammable liquid containers were not in accordance with table H-12: Prep Lab: On or about February 28, 2022, containers of Category 1 flammable liquids including, but not limited to, ethyl ether that have flashpoints below 73.4 �F (23 �C) and boiling points at or below 95 �F (35 �C), were regularly transferred into five-gallon nonconductive plastic satellite containers. Category 1 flammable liquids were not stored in accordance with the maximum allowable container type and size of one pint for glass or approved plastic containers per Table H-12 of the standard; thereby, the escape of flammable vapors exposed employees to an increased risk of injury from burns in the event of a fire.
