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

29 CFR 1910.132(d)(1)(i): When the employer had assessed the workplace hazard(s) and determined that hazard(s) were present, the employer did not select and/or use the types of personal protective equipment that would protect the affected employee from the hazards identified in the hazard assessment: (a) 11111 W 8th Ave, Unit A, Lakewood, CO 80215: On or about April 11, 2023, and at times prior, the employer did not select gloves which would protect employees from hazards identified in a hazard assessment. Employees use nitrile gloves when handling chemicals which are known to rapidly breakthrough or degrade nitrile material such as methylene chloride and hydrogen fluoride. (b) 11111 W 8th Ave, Unit A, Lakewood, CO 80215: On or about April 11, 2023, and at times prior, the employer did not select gloves which would protect employees from hazards identified in a hazard assessment. Employees use medical exam nitrile gloves in place of industrial strength nitrile gloves. Medical exam gloves are not as thick as industrial strength gloves and the estimated breakthrough, permeation, or degredation time is reduced from laboratory studies for chemicals such as toluene and xylene.
