Failure of the Entry Supervisor to "verify rescue services are available" leads to an OSHA Willful Citation of $126,749 (Railcar & $204K)
I have written repeatedly about Confined Space rescue requirements and the problems with using off-site rescue teams, specifically referencing the requirement of 1910.146(j)(4)... Duties of entry supervisors. The employer shall ensure that each entry supervisor: ... 1910.146(j)(4) Verifies that rescue services are available and that the means for summoning them are operable; Now it seems that OSHA is getting serious about this requirement as they have issued a WILLFUL citation for $126,749 for the facility's failure to meet this requirement. Here are the other PRCS, Flammable Liquids, HAZCOM, and First-aid related citations issued: |
