Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 006 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.253(b)(4)(iii): Oxygen cylinders in storage were not separated from fuel-gas cylinders or combustible materials (especially oil or grease), a minimum distance of 20 feet (6.1 m) or by a noncombustible barrier at least 5 feet (1.5 m) high having a fire-resistance rating of at least one-half hour. The employer is failing to protect employees from fire and explosion hazards when storing compressed gas cylinders. This was most recently documented on May 21, 2020 at the worksite located at 1921 West US Highway 50, Lone Jack, Missouri. Oxygen and Acetylene compressed gas cylinders were stored closer than 20 feet apart.
