29 CFR 1910.101(b): The in-plant handling, storage, and utilization of all compressed gases in cylinders, portable tanks, rail tankcars, or motor vehicle cargo tanks was not in accordance with Compressed Gas Association Pamphlet P-1-1965, which is incorporated by reference as specified in Sec. 1910.6: The employer does not ensure that stored, compressed gas cylinders are properly secured to prevent tipping, placed so as not to become part of an electrical circuit, and labeled to identify the gases. This violation was observed on or about March 19, 2009, in the FCCU where employees were exposed to fire, explosion and struck-by hazards while walking/working in and around the oxygen analyzer room where stored, compressed gas cylinders were not secured to prevent tipping, were placed near open electrical boxes and were not labeled to identify the type of compressed gas. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the date of this citation, the employer must submit documentation describing the steps that it is taking to ensure all compressed gas cylinders are properly stored, marked and handled.
