Although both EPA and OSHA use similar definitions to define who is an “incidental contractor” and those contractors who need to be evaluated to work in, on, or adjacent to a “covered process”, there is still much confusion on the intent of the "contractor element" and which type of contractors should be included and the type of review that should really be taking place.

Case in point of a contractor working "in a covered Process"...AMMONIA LEAK caused by FALL from LADDER 2 injured in ammonia leak in Norfolk (two people were injured in an ammonia leak - a Level 2 hazard - a hazmat team went into the building and secured the leak - employees reported a worker on a ladder fell and struck a pipe that leads to tank containing ammonia - not immediately clear what injuries the workers sustained, but two employees were taken to the hospital - one worker had been released by 1:30 p.m. the other was hospitalized with non life-threatening injuries - no evacuations were needed)
