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:On or About 12/17/13
Location:Back Area of Plant
Condition:Employees were exposed to serious eye injury from sulfuric acid
from batteries, a
corrosive, in that the emergency eye wash did not have enough water
pressure to
continuously flush both eyes simultaneously.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method of abatement would
be to provide suitable facilities
for quick drenching or flushing of the eyes that maintains 15 minutes of
continuous flow in accordance with
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z358.1-2009 "Emergency
Eyewash and Shower
