Labor and Employment Article, Section 5-104(a): 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:
(a)Date of Violation:01/14/02
Location:Boiler Room
Condition:Employees were not trained in the hazards associated with
resetting the
boilers, where oil vapors can accumulate.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is
to properly train the employees in the proper procedures for operating the
boilers when a
problem exists or to prohibit them from working on the boilers until they
are properly trained
by the boiler manufacturer.
Abatement documentation (photographs, receipts, copies of programs,
training
certification, etc.) is required for this item.
