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 being struck-by exploding plastic pipe due to the hazard of compressed air at pressure of 125 psi being transported by PVC pipe in the facility. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to replace the PVC pipe with an impact resistant Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) pipe. This pipe is recommended by the plastic pipe institute for this purpose.e
