Section 296-843-18015. Maintain worker safety in drum and container opening areas.

Latest version.

You must:

• Keep employees who are not involved in opening drums or containers a safe distance from the opening area.

• Use appropriate shielding between the employee and the drums or containers, when excess interior pressure cannot be relieved from a remote location.

• Provide an explosion-resistant barrier that does not interfere with the work to protect employees working near or adjacent to drum or container opening operations from accidental explosions.

• Position controls for drum or container opening equipment, monitoring equipment, and fire suppression equipment behind the explosion-resistant barrier. Prohibit employees from standing on or working from drums or containers.
