Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.134(d)(2)(iii):When the atmosphere was oxygen deficient, it was not considered to be IDLH. Employees were exposed to asphyxiation hazards in that the employer did not assess or treat Cryogenic Deflasher workspaces, as immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) in the presence of expected, but unmeasured, oxygen-deficient atmospheres. The employer did not implement elements of the respiratory protection standard required for IDLH work exposures. Employees were exposed to oxygen-deficient atmospheres while performing tasks including but not limited to "Pre-Startup Cleanout" of Cryogenic Deflasher machines.
