29 CFR 1910.134(d)(1)(iii): The employer did not identify and evaluate the respiratory hazard in the workplace:    (a)  Transervice Logistics Inc. at 10251 E 51st Ave, Denver, CO 80239:  On and before September 30, 2011, the employer did not identify and evaluate the respiratory hazard in the workplace, in that employees were potentially exposed to the inhalation of diesel fuel fumes while refueling the 2,500 gallon tank on fuel truck #990. To perform this task employees bend down to open the hatch on top of the tank, and then insert a hand-operated fuel nozzle. This condition potentially exposes employees to the hazards of inhalation of harmful fumes.
