Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 027 Hazard: CHEMNEP
29 CFR 1910.119(o)(4): The employer did not determine and document an appropriate response to each of the findings of the compliance audit required by 29 CFR 1910.119(o)(1), and document that the deficiencies had been corrected: The conditions were observed on or about October 20, 2010. The employer does not comply with the provisions of this section and does not promptly determine and document an appropriate response to each of the findings of the compliance audit, and does not document that the deficiencies had been corrected. This exposes employees to possible fire, burn, inhalation hazards, and death in the event of an accident or explosion. The conditions were observed at the Woodward Iodine Corporation. There is no documentation to show that the 1999 PHA recommendations had been completed or are being addessed; the deficiencies still exist. 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 it is taking to ensure that the written process safety information is completed. The method of abatement is to promptly determine and document an appropriate response to each of the findings of the compliance audit, and document that the deficiencies have been corrected in accordance with the required information as described in 29 CFR 1910.119(o)(4).
