Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 007A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.120(q)(1): The employer did not develop and implement an emergency response plan to handle anticipated emergencies prior to commencement of emergency response operations: (a) On or about February 13, 2017 and times previous, a written emergency response plan had not been developed and implemented at this location. Employees performed containment and clean-up of hazardous chemical spills, including unknown chemicals, without protocols and procedures in place to distinguish incidental releases from emergency response situations. Employees were also allowed back into the cut and scrape area without formal protocols and procedures in place to ensure that the work environment was safe following the release of unknown gases and vapors from unwanted chemical reactions occurring in common collection totes that resulted in the initial evacuation of employees out of the immediate work area.
