Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.1200(h)(1): Employers did provide employees with effective information and training on hazardous chemicals in their work area at the time of their initial assignment, and whenever a new physical or health hazard the employees have not previously been trained about is introduced into their work area. On or about May 7, 2013, and at times prior thereto, the employer did not ensure effective information and training on hazardous chemicals in the work area whenever a new physical and/or health hazard is introduced into their work area. Employees were working with chemicals and flammable gases, such as but not limited to propane, exposing employees to toxic, fire and explosion hazards Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct the hazards identified in the instance above is to ensure employees are effectively trained on the hazards of the types of hazardous chemicals located in the work area. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the date of this citation, the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with this standard, including describing the actions it is taking to establish, communicate, and implement written emergency response plan.
