Magretech, LLC located in Bellevue, Ohio: On or about November 23, 2018 the employer did not ensure magnesium scrap being charged into the magnesium melting furnaces located in the melt department, was free of moisture. An employee suffered serious burns from molten magnesium when a melting furnace erupted after the employee added Class 1 magnesium scrap to the furnace. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard is to follow the guidelines in ASTM E2349-18 Standard Practice for Safety Requirements in Metal Casting Operations: Sand Preparation, Molding, and Core Making; Melting and Pouring; and Cleaning and Finishing by ensuring charges of metal into the melting furnaces are free of moisture and foreign materials.
