Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 016 Hazard: REFINERY
29 CFR 1910.133(a)(1): Protective eye equipment was not required where there was a reasonable probability of injury that could be prevented by such equipment: This violation was observed on or about August 19, 2009, at Hydrocracker reactor effluent sample station HC-D-032, where the employer failed to ensure that the operator opening valves and collecting sample of effluent from a high temperature, high pressure source wears appropriate face protection. This condition exposed employees to stuck by hazards involving chemicals, acids, caustic, and flying particles. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19(d), within 10 calendar days of the date of the citation, the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps it is taking to ensure employees are wearing the appropriated personal protective equipment.
