Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: OTHER
40.1-51.1.(a)-Code of Virginia: The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that: Employees were supplying approximately 150 pounds per square inch of air pressure to a pumpless drain used oil system that had been repaired with a epoxy cement type patch. Failure of the weld in this area caused the reservoir of the system to rocket into the air and strike an employee. One feasible means of abatement, among others, is to inspect and evaluate repairs of vessels subject to air pressure from compressed air lines in the facility to determine the effectiveness and strength of these repairs.
