Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.146(g)(1): The employer shall provide training so that all employees whose work is regulated by this section acquire the understanding, knowledge, and skills necessary for the safe performance of the duties assigned under this section: The employer does not protect employees from hazards associated with the mixer in the Batch Plant's Mixer Room (a permit-required confined space) by providing permit-required confined space entry training to all employees participating in entries into that space. a. On or about June 5, 2020, the employer had not provided batch operators with the necessary permit-required confined space training prior to allowing a batch operator to fully enter the mixer in the Batch Plant (a permit-required confined space) to perform cleaning with an air chisel, thereby exposing the employee to engulfment hazards related to the mixer's concrete ingredients, mechanical hazards related to the mixer's pneumatically powered discharge gate, mechanical hazards related to the mixer's electrically powered blade/shaft system, and heat-related illness hazards from environmental and metabolic heat loads.
