Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.252(a)(2)(iv): The individual responsible for authorizing cutting or welding operations did not designate precautions to be followed in granting authorization to proceed preferably in the form of a written permit. On or about October 13, 2020, at an oil and gas well pad, the employer did not designate precautions to be followed which include, but are not limited to air testing the tank interior for flammable atmospheres, prior to allowing a contract welder to use an oxygen acetylene torch on the exterior of a produced water tank while an employee steamed the tank. This exposed the employees to fire hazards.
