Text For Citation: 03 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.106(d)(2)(i): "General." Only approved containers and portable tanks shall be used. Metal containers and portable tanks meeting the requirements of and containing products authorized by chapter I, title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (regulations issued by the Hazardous Materials Regulations Board, Department of Transportation), shall be deemed to be acceptable. The employer did not protect each employee by ensuring the use of only approved containers. a) This most recently occurred on March 21, 2013, in the painting area, containers containing Class 1B flammable thinner are not used and/or stored in approved containers. A plastic 5 gallon gasoline style container used to collect the recycled solvent is open around the top during the process. The solvent for the spray gun wash system pumped from a 55 gallon drum is not sealed around the pump hose. Employees are thereby exposed to the hazards associated with exposed flammables. To abate this hazard in the future, the employer must ensure the use of approved containers. This employer has been cited for this practice that included: Hoist Liftruck Mfg, Inc., was previously cited for a violation of this occupational safety and health standard or its equivalent standard 29 CFR 1910.106(d)(2)(i) which was contained in OSHA inspection number 424535 citation 1, item 1a, issued on September 28, 2012, and became final order on about October 29, 2012, with respect to a workplace located at 6499 W. 65th Street, Bedford Park, IL 60638.
