Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 006A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.253(e)(6)(ii): Where regulators or parts of regulators, including gages, need repair, the repair should be made by a qualified person. Galion, LLC located at 515 N. East Street in Galion, Ohio: On or about April 6, 2023, the employer did not ensure that regulators on the oxygen-acetylene torches in need of repair were removed from service and repaired by a qualified person. The oxygen-acetylene torches located in the maintenance bay were discovered to have defective regulators, in that the gauge lens was broken. Failure to ensure regulators in need of repair were repaired by a qualified person exposes employees to potential fire and explosion hazards during use of the equipment.
