Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.37(a)(2): Exit routes were not arranged so that employees would not have to travel toward a high hazard area, nor was the hazard effectively shielded by suitable partitions or barriers: (a) Roof Covering Engine Rooms: On or about 10/1/2021, the employer failed to arrange exit routes so employees, working on the roof above the engine rooms, are able to egress directly from the roof to a safe location outside, free from potential health and fire hazards posed by an accidental release of anhydrous ammonia. Rather, the emergency egress path leads employees back down into the facility through other potentially unsafe plant areas prior to exiting to a safe location outside. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, the employer must submit abatement certification, required within 10 days after abatement date. The certification shall include a statement that abatement is complete, date and method of abatement, and states employees and their representatives were informed of this abatement.
