29 CFR 1926.351(e): Arc welding or cutting operation(s) were not shielded by noncombustible or flame proof screens to protect employees and other persons working in the vicinity from the direct rays of the arc: (a) Dominguez Welding LLC, at Sekich tank battery, Weld County Road 13 and Weld County Road 32, Mead, CO: On 5/25/17, Dominguez Welding LLC did not ensure that arc welding or cutting operation(s) were shielded by noncombustible or flame proof screens to protect employees and other persons working in the vicinity from the direct rays of the arc. Dominguez Welding LLC directed and controlled the work of two welder's assistants at a construction project at a crude oil tank battery. Dominguez Welding LLC performed arc welding upon steel pipes in an excavation at an oil tank battery. A welder's assistant and employees of Energes Services LLC were working in and adjacent to the excavation where the welding was occurring. The arc welding was not shielded by a noncombustible or flame proof screen to protect workers in the vicinity. This condition exposed a welder's assistant and employees of Energes Services LLC to intense light radiation.
