Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 007B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.120(q)(2)(ii): The emergency response plan did not address, to the extent not addressed elsewhere, personnel roles, lines of authority, and communication: a. Lancaster Pennsylvania Plant - On or about March 12, 2023, the employer failed to establish and implement a written emergency response plan in accordance with 1910.119(n) to include Personnel roles, lines of authority, training, and communication. The ERP does not identify who is assigned to the company emergency response team and only states "emergency response team members." Failure to develop and implement these procedures creates confusion during emergencies which exposes employees to hazards associated with the uncontrolled release of anhydrous ammonia's toxic vapors. Abatement certification required within 10 days after abatement date. The certification shall include a statement that abatement is complete, date and method of abatement, and states employees and their representatives were informed of this abatement.
