Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 019 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.1101(k)(9)(i): The employer does not train each employee who is likely to be exposed in excess of a PEL, and each employee who performed Class I through IV asbestos operations, in accordance with the requirements of this section. The employer does not institute a training program and ensure employee participation in the program. The employer does not ensure that employees who perform Class I through Class II asbestos operations are trained. This most recently occurred on or about February 12, 2015 through March 3, 2015. An employee was directed to perform Class II asbestos work, including removal of floor tile and sanding of mastic flooring and Class I asbestos work that included removal of thermal system insulation (TSI). The employee was not provided training in Class I or Class II asbestos operations, thereby exposing the employee to the hazards associated with asbestos.
