General-duty citation text
T.C.A. 50-3-105(1): The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees. An example was the hazard of suspect accuracy of the portable ammonia Toxi Vision monitor used by Maintenance Technicians and Hazardous Materials Technicians (as defined in 29 CFR 1910.120(q)). The instrument was used to define what level of respirator protection (full face piece cartridge respirator or self-contained breathing apparatus - SCBA) was necessary for adequate health protection during an ammonia release incident. The Toxi Vision portable ammonia monitor was reportedly calibrated each 6 months, and no span ammonia gas was available for "bump" testing/calibrating the portable monitor at the plant. In the "Reference Manual" for the equipment, on p. 24, the manufacturer recommends that a "bump" test calibration be conducted daily, and that "the interval between calibrations should not exceed 30 days." The employer recognized the serious toxicity of ammonia, as evidenced by its material safety data sheet (MSDS) on that chemical. He also recognized the need for protection against exposures to the gas, as evidenced by his provision of the emergency respirators mentioned above. Also, recognizing the ammonia hazard, the employer had operating procedures and mechanical integrity programs in an attempt to prevent releases of, and exposures to, ammonia. The above-listed employees were potentially exposed to ammonia, which could be released if equipment leaked. Such a leak occurred in the engine room of the milk plant on 11/28/05. The hazard of an inaccurate portable ammonia monitor was reasonably foreseeable. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to follow the portable monitor manufacturer's bump test/calibration recommendations, as delineated above.
