Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 005 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.138(a): The employer did not select and require employee(s) to use appropriate hand protection when employees' hands were exposed to hazards such as those from skin absorption of harmful substances; severe cuts or lacerations; severe abrasion; punctures; chemical burns; thermal burns; and harmful temperature extremes. On or before March 13, 2012, the employer required at least three employees working with Waste Stream 37447-38 to perform the work while wearing Stanzoil (style NL 34) neoprene gloves. The gloves did not provide adequate protection from chemicals in Waste Stream 37447-38, including but not limited to aniline, toluene, m-mononitrotoluene, o-mononitrotoluene, and p-mononitrotoluene as evidenced by higher than normal methemoglobin levels found for each of the three employees.
