Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002C Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.165(b)(1): The employee alarm system shall provide warning for necessary emergency action as called for in the emergency action plan, or for reaction time for safe escape of employees from the workplace or the immediate work area, or both. (a) On or about July 17, 2021, the Simplex 4100-9311 alarm system was not activated to warn employees of the need to evacuate due to a gas leak near door S2 and the overhead garage door in the ARG packaging area. Many employees reported they could not smell the gas leak immediately due to wearing face masks to comply with the employer's COVID-19 pandemic policy.
