Text For Citation: 03 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1200(f)(6)(ii): Product identifier and words, pictures, symbols, or combination thereof, which provide at least general information regarding the hazards of the chemicals, and which, in conjunction with the other information immediately available to employees under the hazard communication program, did not provide employees with the specific information regarding the physical and health hazards of the hazardous chemical: a. Sixth floor acrylic department- On December 4, 2014, the employer had not correctly labeled secondary containers with appropriate hazard warnings. A jar containing acetone was not labeled with the correct hazard warnings, as it was not identified as flammable. b. Sixth floor acrylic department- On March 5, 2015, the employer had incorrectly labeled secondary containers with appropriate product identifier. A jar containing a hazardous chemical used by workers in the gluing process, was labeled with the wrong product identity in that the label reflected 30% methylene chloride (MC) when it contained 100% MC. This incorrect product identity labeling did not communicate the more serious health hazard of the chemical. c. Sixth floor acrylic department- On March 20, 2015, the employer had incorrectly labeled secondary containers with appropriate product identifier. Five jars containing a hazardous chemical used by workers in the gluing process, were labeled with the wrong product identity in that the label reflected 30% methylene chloride (MC) when they all contained a higher percent of MC (42% - 79%). This incorrect product identity labeling did not communicate the more serious health hazard of the chemical. MFB Holdings, LLC was previously cited for a violation of this occupational safety and health standard 29 CFR 1910.1200(f)(5)(ii), which was contained in OSHA inspection number 914985, citation number 1, item number 4b and was affirmed as a final order on 25 October, 2013, with respect to a workplace located at MFB Holdings, LLC.
