Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 006A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(d)(3)(ii): The employer did not document that equipment complies with recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices. On or about 5/10/2017, employees routinely occupying the gas house were exposed to struck-by hazards when the Halon 1301 deflagration suppression system (DSS) was armed during entry. In the event of the system discharging, an oxygen deficiency environment could be created and debris/equipment could become missile fragments due to the pressure on the system. The employer did not comply with RAGAGEP, such as NFPA 69 (2014), Section 10.3, to ensure the system was disarmed during maintenance and operations prior to allowing employees to enter the gas house. Abatement certification is required for this item in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1903.19(c).
