Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 006B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(f)(4): The employer did not develop and implement safe work practices to provide for the control of hazards during operations such as lockout/tagout; confined space entry; opening process equipment or piping; and control over entrance into a facility by maintenance, contractor, laboratory, or other support personnel. On or about 5/10/2017, maintenance and operation 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 develop and implement procedures for the control of hazardous energy when employees entered and performed routine work activities in the gas house. Abatement certification is required for this item in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1903.19(c).
