Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 005 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.106(d)(4)(iv): Each inside storage room was not provided with either a gravity or a mechanical exhaust ventilation system designed to provide for a complete change of air within the room at least six times per hour. The employer is failing to protect employees from fire and explosion hazards from flammable vapors in that insufficient air exchanges in the mixing room did not remove vapors from the building. This was most recently documented on or about December 6 through 8, 2016 at the facility located at 1206 Illinois in Neodesha, Kansas, where inspectors found three permanent discharge fans located on the exterior of the mixing room. Additional ventilation was not provided in the flammable storage areas and no fresh air intakes were provided. No ventilation air flow testing had been performed to determine the exchange rates utilizing the three fans provided.
