29 CFR 1910.101(a): The employer did not determine that compressed gas cylinders under his control were in a safe condition to the extent that could be determined by visual or other inspections: The employer does not ensure that compressed gas cylinders are maintained in a safe condition. This violation was observed on or about March 19, 2009, in the FCCU where employees were exposed to fire and/or explosion hazards while walking/working in and around the oxygen analyzer room where stored compressed gas cylinders lacked protective valve caps and were severely rusted on the bottom. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the date of this citation, the employer must submit documentation describing the steps that it is taking to ensure all compressed gas cylinders are stored and maintained in a safe condition.
