Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.134(i)(5)(iii): The compressor's sorbent bed and filters are not maintained and replaced or refurbished periodically as instructed by the manufacturer: The employee conducting sandblasting activities in the sandblasting area receives supplied air for his respirator from a compressor and the Marco airline filter used is not maintained and replaced or refurbished periodically as instructed by the manufacturer. This violation was more recently observed on December 15, 2016, in the sandblasting area where an employee connected to the Marco airline filter that had not been maintained and replaced or refurbished periodically as recommended by the manufacturer. To abate this violation, the employer must ensure that the supplied air line filters are changed in accordance with the manufactures requirements. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, the employer must submit documents describing the steps it is taking to ensure compliance, including a copy of site-specific program detailing the procedures used to ensure compliance and training of employees.
