Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.101(b): The in-plant handling, storage, and utilization of all compressed gases in cylinders, portable tanks, rail tank cars, or motor vehicle cargo tanks were not in accordance with Compressed Gas Association Pamphlet P-1-1965, which is incorporated by reference as specified in CFR 1910.6: The employer is failing to protect the employees from fire, explosion, and struck by hazards due to gas cylinders not being properly supported to prevent them from being knocked over, as described in Section 3.4.4 of the Compressed Gas Pamphlet. This was most recently documented on or about December 18, 2018 at the Family Dollar store, located at 3552 Leavenworth St, Omaha, Nebraska 68114. The employer had unsecured Helium cylinders stored near the access doorway/route between the front and back of the store exposing them to unintentional contact and risk of being knocked over.
