Text For Citation: 04 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.420(a): General. The employer shall develop and maintain a safe practices manual which shall be made available at the dive location to each dive team member. a. On or about November 11, 2014, located at the Discover Financial Services' south retention pond, employees were performing SCUBA diving operations in order to remove the muck from the bottom of a pond by means of a suction hose that was connected to a trash pump. The employer failed to develop and maintain a safe practices manual that would have included a copy of the OSHA commercial diving standard; safety procedures and checklists; and emergency procedures for fire, equipment failure, adverse environmental conditions and medical illness and injury. The lack thereof exposed the employees to the hazards associated with diving operations in 10 -12 feet deep water.
