Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 011 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.146(h)(1): The employer did not ensure that all authorized entrants knew the hazards that could be faced during entry, including information on the mode, sign or symptoms, and consequences of the exposure: The employer does not ensure that the entrants know the hazards that could be faced during entry into hopper cars with bottom gates open. This violation occurred on or about August 20, 2012, in the interior blast building where employees were exposed to inhalation, fire and struck-by hazards when entering hopper cars for blasting operations without knowing the hazards that they could be faced when entering the hopper cars. 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 the entrants know the hazards that could be faced during entry into hopper cars with bottom gates open.
