The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) issued a March 3rd news release stating that it has cited PCE Petroleum Contractors Enterprises Inc. (“PCE”) for alleged violations.
PCE is described as a Land O’ Lakes, Florida based petroleum services contractor.
OSHA investigators are stated to have cited PCE with 12 serious violations for failing to develop and implement a written permit-required space entry program. Such a program is designed to ensure those authorized to enter the space know the hazards, and signs or symptoms of exposure.
PCE is also stated to have been cited for:
- Allowing employees to enter a confined space without an atmospheric evaluation or a required permit.
- Not having a written respiratory program for workers required to wear full-face respirators.
- Not implementing a hazard communication program when exposed to chemicals.
PCE is stated to have contested the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
