Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 015A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.272(j)(1): The employer did not develop and implement a written housekeeping program that established the frequency and the method(s) determined best to reduce accumulations of fugitive grain dust on ledges, floors, equipment, and other exposed surfaces in the grain handling facility: The employer is failing to protect employees from explosion hazards associated with working in a facility where combustible dusts are present. The most recent occurrence of this was found at the facility located at 501 Division Ave, York, NE 68467 where the employer has employees handling grain which produces a combustible dust by product without having developed and implemented a written housekeeping program.
