Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
OSH ACT of 1970 Section (5)(a)(1): The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or were likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to combustible wood dust fire hazards associated with the use of an indoor enclosureless dust collector for equipment associated with frequent production of sparks: (a) On or about March 11, 2022: A Baileigh Cyclone dust collector was used to collect combustible wood dust from upstream woodworking equipment including a Grizzly model GO919 twin head duel blade cutting system with a hydraulically controlled automatic feed system. The use of the indoor cyclone dust collector on equipment likely to produce sparks/embers during use, such as the saw, exposed employees to combustible dust fire hazards (i.e. exposure to flame and/or hazardous byproducts of fire including smoke and toxic gases). (b) On or about March 11, 2022: A Choice Dust Collector, enclosure less dust collector was used to collect combustible wood dust from upstream woodworking equipment including a Grizzly G0503 12 inch re-saw band saw having an automatic feed system. The use of the indoor enclosure less collector on equipment likely to produce sparks/embers during use, such as cutting through nails, exposed employees to combustible dust fire hazards (i.e. exposure to flame and/or hazardous byproducts of fire including smoke and toxic gases). (c) On or about March 11, 2022: A Choice Dust Collector, enclosure less dust collector was used to collect combustible wood dust from upstream woodworking equipment including a High Point 12 inch re-saw band saw having an automatic feed system. The use of the indoor enclosure less collector on equipment likely to produce sparks/embers during use, such as cutting through nails, exposed employees to combustible dust fire hazards (i.e. exposure to flame and/or hazardous byproducts of fire including smoke and toxic gases).
