Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.111(b)(10)(ii): Stationary storage installations did not have at least two suitable gas masks in readily-accessible locations. Full-face masks with ammonia canisters that have been approved by NIOSH under 42 CFR part 84 are suitable for emergency action involving most anhydrous ammonia leaks, particularly leaks that occur outdoors. For respiratory protection in concentrated ammonia atmospheres, a self-contained breathing apparatus is required. Only one suitable gas mask was readily available for emergency action involving anhydrous ammonia leaks.
