Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 009 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.253(b)(5)(ii)(A): When transporting cylinders by a crane or derrick, a cradle, boat, or suitable platform shall be used. Slings or electric magnets shall not be used for this purpose. Valve-protection caps, where cylinder is designed to accept a cap, shall always be in place. The employer does not ensure that cylinders transported by a crane or derrick have the valve-protection caps in place. This violation was observed on or about July 01, 2014, at the Mill 2 near the flying cut off area, where employees were exposed to struck-by hazards when cylinders were lifted and transported by a crane without valve-protection caps in place. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the date of this citation, 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 cylinders transported by a crane have valve-protection caps in place.
