Opening or conducting an inspection is not itself an allegation or a finding that this employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

29 CFR 1910.1200(f)(5)(i): The employer did not ensure that each container of hazardous chemicals in the workplace was labeled, tagged or marked with the identity of the hazardous chemical(s) contained therein: (a) In the maintenance shop there was a metal container stored in a shop made metal basket attached to the PowerMatic 1150 Drill Press. The metal container was covered with oily, dirty debris such that the identity of the chemical within the container was completely obscured. Maintenance staff believed the contents to be a thread cutting oil, but there were differing opinions of which thread cutting oil was in the container. The original contets were flammable and toxic according to maintenance staff. The MSDS provided to the CSHO does not match the hazards on the metal container. Actual cutting fluid contained within the metal container is not known to anyone to which the CSHO spoke; they guessed what was in the container. Abatement certification is required for this item; use the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET for this purpose. NOTE: IN ADDITION TO ABATEMENT CERTIFICATION, THE EMPLOYER IS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT ABATEMENT DOCUMENTATION FOR THIS ITEM. FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL RESULT IN AN ADDITIONAL PENALTY OF $1000.00 IN ACCORDANCE WITH 29 CFR 1903.19

The metal container was covered with oily, dirty debris such that the listed hazards were mostly obscured and the identity of the chemical within the container was completely obscured. Maintenance staff believed the contents to be a thread cutting oil, but there were differing opinions of which thread cutting oil was in the container. The original contents were flammable and toxic according to the label. The hazards on the MSDS provided to the CSHO do not match the hazards on the metal container.
