Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 005 Hazard: REFINERY
29 CFR 1910.23(c)(3): Regardless of height, open-sided floors, walkways, platforms or runways above or adjacent to dangerous equipment were not guarded by standard guardrails. The employer does not guard open sided platforms less than four feet where employees may step/fall into dangerous equipment or residual chemicals. This violation was last observed on or about August 13, 2009, adjacent to the Hydrocracker Unit (HCU) at the Gasoline Manifold D, where the spaces between and around routing valve stems were not guarded by chain guardrails and stansions or other means. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the date of this citation, the employer must submit documentation that it is in compliance with the standard, including ensuring that work platforms less than four feet high where additional hazards exist are provided with guardrail protection.
