Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 006 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(e)(3)(vi): The process hazard analysis did not address human factors. The employer does not ensure the process hazard analysis addresses human factors. The violation occurred on or about November 6, 2012 and times prior thereto, in the propane container filling and evacuation areas where the employer failed to ensure the process hazard analysis addressed human factors as part of the 2004 and 2011 PHA. Identified human factors include but not limited to language barriers, communication during an emergency, evacuation or emergency drills, and employee turnover. This condition exposed employees to fire and explosion hazards. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the abatement date the employer must submit documentation showing it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps it is taking to ensure the process hazard analysis addresses human factors.
