Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 006 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.176(c): Housekeeping. Storage areas shall be kept free from accumulation of materials that constitute hazards from tripping, fire, explosion, or pest harborage. Vegetation control will be exercised when necessary. a). On or about July 8, 2015 the employer did not ensure storage areas did not create a hazard from tripping, or explosion. The metal storage rack mixed with the cutting area created a unique slipping and tripping hazard due to improper storage and stacking practices. b). The outside storage of materials and merchandise on the east side of the building adjacent to the entry to the metal shop, exposed employees to slip, trip and fall hazards. Additionally, this condition created an area ideal for rodent harborage due to poor vegetation control. c). The paint supply shed was littered with old paint cans, electric hand tools, and trash, exposing employees to slip, trip and fall hazards.
