Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:

29 CFR 1926.102(a)(1): Employees shall be provided with eye and face protection equipment when machines or operations present potential eye or face injury from physical, chemical, or radiation agents. Location: Jobsite in front of 10 - 12 Dartmouth Street, Boston, MA Employees who are not wearing eye and face protection are exposed to eye and face injuries from flying debris while working with power tools, such as hand held portable electric angle grinders, and pneumatic tools. The employer routinely fails to assure effective protection against eye/face injuries as required by the standard, as demonstrated on or about October 17, 2016 to October 21, 2016, when employees were not protected from struck-by/flying object hazards where eye/face protection was not worn at the site in front of 10 - 12 Dartmouth Street, Boston, MA 02116. To abate this violation, the employer must ensure that affected employees use appropriate eye or face protection when exposed to eye or face hazards from flying particles Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, the employer must submit documents describing the steps it is taking to ensure compliance; including an explanation of how these steps protect employees from eye or face injuries.
