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 hazards of fire and/or explosion. Positive identification of the contents of the piping system were not by lettered legend giving the name of the contents in full or abbreviated form, and arrows were not used to indicate the direction of flow where pipes pass through walls or floors and at intervals on straight pipe runs sufficient for identification: (a) Overhead pipes containing natural gas, oxygen and water located in the Blasting, Casting and Alloy areas were not labeled to indicate the contents and direction of flow, on or about August 26, 1992. One feasible and acceptable abatement method is to label and color-code all overhead piping systems to identify the contents and direction of flow as required by ANSI A13.1-1981, Section 3.1, Scheme for the Identification of Piping Systems.
