Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003B Hazard:
29 CFR 1915.15(e): After a competent person conducted a visual inspection and tests and determined a space to be safe for an employee to enter, he or she did not continue to test and visually inspect spaces as often as necessary to ensure that the required atmospheric conditions within the tested space were maintained. A. On August 28, 2023, in the confined space bow compartment on hull #169, located inside bay #7, at 560 Stokes Landing Road, Palatka, FL 32177, the employer exposed employees to an asphyxiation hazard from an oxygen deficient atmosphere in that the employer did not continue to test and visually inspect while welding operations released oxygen-displacing Argon gas into the confined space.
