Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 020 Hazard: REFINERY
29 CFR 1910.119(h)(2)(v): The employer did not periodically evaluate the performance of contract employers in fulfilling their obligations as specified in paragraph 1910.119(h)(3): The employer does not ensure that the equipment used by contractors is evaluated for safe use, such as Bond Painting's use of bares wires and a 12 volt battery to power fuel pumps. This violation was observed on or about April 15, 2009, in the refinery, where employees and contractors were exposed to the hazard of flash fire and explosions due to a contractor's use of spark producing equipment in the process units. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the date of this citation, the employer must submit documentation describing the steps that is taking to ensure that an evaluation of contractor equipment is conducted.
