Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002A Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.352(d): Suitable fire extinguishing equipment was not immediately available in the work area. This violation occurred on or about May 19, 2020 and at times thereafter, on the Pelican Island Storage Terminal located in Galveston, Texas, when suitable fire extinguishing equipment was not immediately available in the work area where employees were welding pipe support pads onto the roof of storage tank 106-37 which contained flammable chemicals such as Low Sulfur Vacuum Gas Oil. This condition exposes workers to the hazards of a catastrophic equipment failure including being struck by a high energy release, equipment parts, and fire/explosion.
