Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 007 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1200(h)(1): Employees were not provided effective information and training on hazardous chemicals in their work area at the time of their initial assignment and whenever a new hazard that the employees had not been previously trained about was introduced into their work area: The employer is failing to protect employees from chemical exposure hazards associated with, but not limited to, citric acid, sodium chlorite, carbon dioxide (dry ice), and acidified sodium chlorite (ASC) in the fabrication area. This was most recently documented on June 9, 2020 at the worksite located at 1921 West US Highway 50, Lone Jack, Missouri. Employees were exposed to respiratory hazards and corrosive chemical hazards associated with the exposure of dry ice and ASC chemical without receiving effective information and training on the chemicals.
