Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 008 Hazard: REFINERY
29 CFR 1910.37(b)(1): Each exit route was note adequately lighted so that an employee with normal vision could see along the exit route: The employer does not provide adequate lighting at the higher level platforms of the towers in process units. This violation was last observed on or about August 25, 2009, at towers located in the Isom/TDU area. The lights at the higher levels of the towers were non-existent and/or did not work. This condition exposed employees to trip falls at night while employees walked/worked on platforms located at higher levels of the tower without lighting. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19 within ten (10) days of the calendar date of this citation, the employer shall provide documentation that it is in compliance with this standard including documentation that describes how it will monitor the lighting to ensure that the lights are working at all times after sunset.
