Text For Citation: 03 Item/Group: 002 Hazard: REFINERY

29 CFR 1910.22(d)(1) In every building or other structure, or part thereof, used for mercantile, business, industrial, or storage purposes, the loads approved by the building official shall be marked on plates of approved design which shall be supplied and securely affixed by the owner of the building, or his duly authorized agent, in a conspicuous place in each space to which they relate. Such plates shall not be removed or defaced but, if lost, removed, or defaced, shall be replaced by the owner or his agent. A. The employer did not ensure that in every building or other structure, loads approved by the building official were marked in a conspicuous place in each space to which they relate. This violation was identified during inspections of the facility from November 2009 to March 2010, Silver Eagle Refining Inc., 2355 South 1100 West, Woods Cross, UT, 84087. At the time of the inspection, Compliance Officers observed overhead storage areas without load limits marked. In both the warehouse and the welding shop, overhead storage areas were in use without an indication to the maximum load limit. By not identifying load limits, potential for structural failure and collapse can expose employees to serious injury or death. This may be a system-wide occurrence that requires evaluation of all overhead storage areas and load limits throughout the facility.
