Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
OSH ACT of 1970 Section (5)(a)(1): The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees: The employer does not ensure ignition sources are not present when employees attempt to thaw valves on vacuum truck trailers. This violation most recently occurred on January 24, 2014 on the north side of the truck parking lot at 601 Ash Street in Knoxville, Arkansas, where employee(s) used a propane torch to thaw frozen valves on vacuum truck trailers and did not ensure hydrocarbons, toxic and/or flammable gases or vapors were present. This practice exposed employees to an explosion hazard.
