Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: DUST&FUMES
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: 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 exposed to the hazard of fire and/or explosion: a.Site - Employees were not protected from the hazard of fire and/or explosion resulting from the ignition of the contents of the dust collection system and subsequent flame and pressure front that would be transmitted into the plant via the path that the recirculated air takes. The system, as it is installed, allows air to be recirculated into the workplace and is not equipped with a spark detection and supression system. ABATEMENT NOTE: Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable means of abatement would be to comply with the guidelines outlined in the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 664 - Standard for the Prevention of Fires and Explosions in Wood Processing and Woodworking Facilities (1998 Edition).s
