General-duty citation text
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were cusing or likely to case death or serious physical harm to employees, in that, employees were exposed to entering a confined space without a written program recognizing hazards of possibly becoming overcome by toxic gases, oxygen deficient and explosive becoming overcome by toxic gases, oxygen deficeint and explosive atomospheres while performing work duties from points located within manholes, shafts and tunnels: (a) Jobsite: Old Fall River Road, Dartmouth, MA, Manholes 2,3 and 4: ABB employees entered manholes without following a confined entry program procedure. Employees were exposed to the hazard of being asphyxiated due to the possible lack of oxygen at their work locations or potentially exposed to a toxic and/or explosive atmosphere. No atmospheric testing was conducted prior to entering manholes. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to establish and enforce a confined space entry procedure, such as that stipulated by NIOSH criteria document and publication No. 80-106, December 1979, which includes providing telephones or other signal communications between standby personal and the employees in the confined space, training and providing instructions of the hazards in confined space, atmospheric testing and monitoring or oxygen deficiency; and other aspects of NIOSH publications No. 80-106.
