Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 014 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.120(q)(6)(iii): Employees who participated as hazardous materials technicians, or were expected to participate as hazardous materials technicians, had not received at least 24 hours of training equal to the first responder operations level, and in addition have competency in the areas outlined in 29 CFR 1910.120(q)(6)(iii)(A) through (q)(6)(iii)(I) and/or the employer did not so certify: On or about September 23rd, 2015 and October 21, 2015, the employer failed to protect employees engaged in production activities throughout the facility. This was most recently documented where employees were responding to two different instances of Ammonia leaks and were exposed to inhalation hazards and skin exposures in that the employees tasked with isolating the leaks/releases were not HAZWOPER trained. 29 CFR 1903.19(d)(1) requires certification and documentation that the abatement of the above violation is completed.
