Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.850(e): It was not determined if any type of hazardous chemicals, gases, explosives, flammable materials, or similarly dangerous substances have been used in any pipes, tanks, or other equipment on the property. When the presence of any such substances is apparent or suspected, testing and purging was not performed and the hazards eliminated before demolition is started: In the asphalt manufacturing facility, the contractor did not ensure that the tank being removed or the tank next to it had any type of hazardous gases or flammable materials before using the torch for the cutting process in the area exposing an employee to second degree burns. The employer relied upon steps and tests undertaken by U.S. Polyco, where the work was being performed, rather than undertaking its own steps and tests.
