Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 005 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.252(a)(2)(xv): Cutting or welding shall be permitted only in areas that are or have been made fire safe. When work cannot be moved practically, as in most construction work, the area shall be made safe by removing combustibles or protecting combustibles from ignition. On or about February 8, 2017, PCS did not recognize that the Foul Condensate Tank (FCT) could contain a flammable atmosphere. Accordingly, PCA contractor employees performed welding on piping above the FCT without protecting the tank from the potential for ignition.
