Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.430(b)(4): The output of air compressor systems shall be tested for air purity every 6 months by means of samples taken at the connection to the distribution system, except that non-oil lubricated compressors need not be tested for oil mist. a. On or about October 11, 2014 through October 14, 2014, located at the Discover Financial Services' north retention pond, employees were conducting surface-supplied air diving operations from a 26 gallon Central Pneumatic, model 68067, s/n 06047 air compressor in about 7-10 feet deep water that had not been tested for air purity every six months, thereby exposing the employees to the possibility of contaminated air and a drowning hazard. b. On or about November 11, 2014, located at the Discover Financial Services' south retention pond, employees were performing SCUBA diving operations at about 10-12 deep water with SCUBA bottles that had been filled by a Nuvair MCH-6, model 8013, serial number 111649 HP air compressor that had not been tested for air purity every six months, thereby exposing the employees to the possibility of contaminated air and a drowning hazard.
