Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.134(d)(1)(iii): The employer did not identify and evaluate the respiratory hazard in the workplace: (a) DCP Services LLC, at Highway 392 and Weld County Road 71, N 0.9, W 0.2, Briggsdale, CO: On and preceding 11/16/17, the employer did not identify and evaluate the respiratory hazard in the workplace. Employees removed hydrate blockages within DCP Services LLC pipelines. DCP Services LLC pipelines transported natural gas and other products of crude oil and gas extraction. The hydrate blockage removal process included venting of the contents of the pipeline to reduce internal pressure. Venting of the pipeline released hydrocarbon gases and liquids into the work environment. The employer did not evaluate employee exposure to respiratory hazards, including hydrogen sulfide and hydrocarbon gases and vapors, including benzene. This condition exposed employees to respiratory hazards.
