Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 008B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.252(a)(2)(xiv)(C)(3): The employer did not ensure that the supervisor saw that cutting and welding was so scheduled that plant operations that might expose combustibles to ignition were not started during cutting or welding: On or about March 23, 2015, feed mill 3rd floor, oxygen-acetylene torch cutting in bin 84 was done during feed processing operations which caused mash feed (combustible dust) to fall overhead of a contractor in bin 84 who was operating an oxygen acetylene torch that ignited feed dust and exposed contractor employees and feed mill employees to a fire at bin 84. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the abatement date, the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps that it is taking to ensure that cutting and welding is only scheduled when plant operations limit the exposure of combustible materials.
