Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.134(k)(1)(ii): The employer did not ensure that each employee could demonstrate knowledge of the limitations and capabilities of the respirator: The employer does not protect each employee during basement cleaning by ensuring employees are able to demonstrate knowledge of limitations and capabilities of wearing respirators with facial hair. On or about October 10, 2014, where employees were required to wear respiratory protection while cleaning the basement sand reclamation area, the employer did not ensure each employee knew how to use the respirators required to be work and the limitations and capabilities of wearing respirators with facial hair. To abate this hazard in the future the employer must ensure employees understand the limitations and capabilities of wearing respirators with facial hair.
