29 CFR 1910.132(d)(1)(i): When the employer had assessed the workplace hazard(s) and determined that hazard(s) were present, the employer did not select and/or use the types of personal protective equipment that would protect the affected employee from the hazard:  a. For work in the quality control lab where glacial acetic acid was used for testing parts, the written hazard assessment stated PVC or neoprene glove material was to be used in contradiction of rubber or nitrile glove material stated on the safety data sheet, and which was actually the glove material that has been recently used in the lab.  (Note: neoprene gloves were also available for use.)  b. The written hazard assessment was not specific for body protection to be used during testing with glacial acetic acid.   c.

Written abatement documentation is required for this violation.
