Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 006 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(d)(3)(ii): The employer did not document that equipment complies with recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices. The employer is not adequately documenting that its equipment complies with recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices, thereby creating a risk of employee exposure to toxic and or highly hazardous chemicals. This was most recently documented on January 10, 2023, at the worksite located at 299 Extension Street, Verona, Missouri. The employer did not follow their chosen recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices (RAGAGEP) per ASME A 13.1. The employer did not label piping containing ethanol throughout area B. Improperly labeled and lack of labeled process equipment can lead to an employee opening an incorrect valve, inadvertent operation of equipment, and human error exposing employees to fires, explosion, and toxic release of hazards.
