recognized hazards that
were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to
employees in that employees

Tank
next to the second working platform attached to the industrial ladder at

appropriate portable hydrogen sulfide gas detection device to determine the
atmospheric concentration of such gas in the flow pipes and the Surge Tank
where potential releases could have occurred and created an immediatley
dangerous to life or health(IDLH) atmosphere.
Among other feasible means of abatement, provide and require the use of
portable
hydrogen sulfide detection instruments in accordance with the American
Petroleum
Institute Recommended Practices 55, titled Recommended Practices for Oil

which states; "If the atmospheric concentration of hydrogen sulfide could
reach or exceed
those levels stipulated in Par.6.1, portable hydrogen sulfide detection
instruments (18)
