Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.36(d)(1): Employees were not able to open an exit route door from the inside at all times without keys, tools, or special knowledge. The employer is failing to protect employees from fire hazards associated with grain elevator operations, maintenance and housekeeping activities. This was most recently documented on or about Jan 4, 2018 at the Gavilon Grain Facility located at 5755 S Hoover Rd Wichita KS. At the south west corner of the concrete bins, the fixed egress ladder to be used for emergency egress from the bin deck had a locked door approximately 10 feet from the bottom of the ladder impeding employees ability for safe emergency egress.
