• Report Issued To:

• The Occupational Safety and Health Act requires employers to comply with hazard-specific safety and health standards. In addition, employers must provide their employees with a workplace free from recognized hazards likely to cause death or serious physical harm under Section 5(a)(1), the General Duty Clause of the Act.
  The employer must correct imminent danger situations immediately or remove employees from the danger area. The employer must correct all hazards in accordance with correction due dates and provide documentation of the action taken to eliminate or control the hazards.
  
  The recommended abatement action and interim protection recommendations in this report are intended as advisory in nature, informational in content, and are intended to assist employers in identifying potential engineering controls, administrative controls, work practice controls and personnel protective equipment to reduce employee exposure to the hazard. It is the employer's responsibility to evaluate the work place and the controls necessary for their particular operation in order to reduce employee exposure.

• Once a deficiency has been identified, the senior management official for the facility must ensure that corrective action is completed in a timely manner. Operating plans and budgets must include funds for proper resources to correct safety and health deficiencies according to a priority based upon the degree of the hazard.
  The degree of hazard for each physical deficiency is determined by using the risk assessment code matrix to compare the probability of an accident occurring with the severity if it does occur. The degree of hazard is assigned a risk assessment code based on the hazard classification section of this report.
  
  Abatement timeframes for all identified hazards are outlined in the figure below. If the hazard cannot be abated within 30 days, a written abatement plan must be submitted to the safety officer who conducted the inspection. The abatement plan must include any interim actions taken to reduce the hazard until it can be fully corrected. Abatement plans must be submitted using BLM Form 1112-8, “Hazard Abatement Plan.”

  

• Where a serious hazard(s) is identified and is not immediately corrected in the presence of NIFC EHS, the employer must provide interim protections for affected employees at the worksite while the identified hazard(s) are being corrected. Interim protections include but are not limited to the following:
  
  Engineering Controls: Engineering controls consist of, but not limited to, substitution, isolation, ventilation and equipment modification.
  
  Administrative Controls: Any procedure that significantly limits daily exposure by control or manipulation of the work schedule or manner in which work is performed is considered a means of administrative control. The use of personal protective equipment is not considered a means of administrative control.
  
  Work Practice Controls: Work practice controls are one type of administrative control in which the employer modifies the manner in which the employee performs assigned work. Such modification may result in a reduction of exposure through such methods as changing work procedures, improving sanitation and hygiene practices, or making other changes in the way the employee performs the job.
  
  Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and/or Clothing: Providing the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) to all affected employees and training affected employees in the proper selection, use and maintenance of the PPE.

  

• If you are unable to correct the hazard(s) by the date specified, you may request an extension. An extension request must be in writing and include the following requirements for each item:
  
  1. The reason for requesting the extension,
  2. Actions taken to correct the hazard,
  3. Interim steps to safeguard employees against the hazard during the correction period,
  4. The amount of time needed to correct the item.
  
  The enclosed report presents recommendations for correcting identified hazards and for preventing their recurrence. If you have any questions regarding the hazards identified or methods of abatement, feel free to contact NIFC EHS.

1. Hazard Classification

• A hazard class rating will be assigned by the inspector in accordance with H-1112-1. Hazards found during an inspection shall be classified so that managers can allocate the appropriate time and resources for abatement/mitigation. These hazards should be addressed in order of priority, based on the degree of risk posed by the hazard. Hazards shall be classified as: Critical (imminent danger), Serious, Moderate, Minor, and Negligible - based on the following criteria:
  
  1) Critical Risk (RAC 1). Represents an immediate danger of death or permanent disability, system loss, or major property damage.
  Requires state director or associate state director approval.
  2) Serious Risk (RAC 2). Represents a high level of threat of permanent partial disability, temporary total disability in excess of 3 months, major system damage, or significant property damage. Requires district manager or equivalent approval.
  3) Moderate Risk (RAC 3). Represents a moderate level of risk of minor injury, lost workday accident, compensable injury/illness,
  minor system damage, or minor property damage. Requires field office manager or equivalent approval.
  4) Minor Risk (RAC 4). Represents a low level of risk of the need for first aid, minor medical treatment, or minor system repair. Requires branch chief or equivalent approval 5) Negligible Risk (RAC 5). While there remains a risk of injury or property damage, it is unlikely to occur. Requires line supervisor
  approval.
  Imminent danger is defined as a situation posing the threat of immediate death or serious physical injury. Imminent danger situations discovered during any safety and health inspection must be brought immediately to the attention of supervisory personnel. Affected work must be stopped by local management personnel or by the inspector. Personnel not required for abating the hazard must be evacuated from the affected area. Immediate abatement actions must be initiated, or the operation must be terminated
