Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 015 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.119(o)(1): The employer did not certify that they had evaluated compliance with the provisions of 29 CFR 1910.119 at least every three years to verify that the procedures and practices developed under this standard were adequate and are being followed. The employer does not ensure it has evaluated the compliance with the provisions of 29 CFR 1910.119 at least every three years. 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 that a process safety management compliance audit was completed and certified at least every three years. 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 it has evaluated the compliance with the provisions of 29 CFR 1910.119 at least every three years.
