Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.21(b)(2): The employer did not instruct each employee in the recognition and avoidance of unsafe conditions and the regulations applicable to his/her environment to control or eliminate any hazards or other exposure to illness or injury: a) Oak Hill Hospital, 3rd floor, new expansion, area, mechanical room: On December 17, 2019, employees were flushing a new system with water using PVC pipe rated for 130 degrees Fahrenheit. At the same time, water in the steam portion of the system was being brought up to temperatures ranging from 140-180 degrees Fahrenheit. As a result of a mis-wired electronic valve, steam heated the water in the part of the system being flushed and caused the PVC pipe to burst, exposing employees to the heated water.
