Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1200(f)(6): Labels and other forms of warning - Workplace labeling. Except as provided in paragraphs (f)(7) and (f)(8) of this section, the employer shall ensure that each container of hazardous chemicals in the workplace is labeled, tagged or marked with either: 29 CFR 1910.1200(f)(6)(ii): Product identifier and words, pictures, symbols, or combination thereof, which provide at least general information regarding the hazards of the chemicals, and which, in conjunction with the other information immediately available to employees under the hazard communication program, will provide employees with the specific information regarding the physical and health hazards of the hazardous chemical. On or about August 6, 2016, the employer had not ensured that drums containing combustible dust produced by abrasive blasting operations in the Secondary department were properly labeled, tagged or marked. There are four abrasive blasting operations with dust collection equipment that have individual drums that collect this hazardous chemical associated with Secondary department production processes. Secondary department equipment operators and maintenance employees have daily exposure to the physical hazards of fire and explosion associated with this combustible metal dust.
