Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.272(l)(2)(iii): Filter collectors installed by the employer for the grain facility after March 30, 1988, were not located in an area inside the facility that was separated from other areas of the facility by construction having at least a one hour fire-resistance rating, and which is adjacent to an exterior wall and vented to the outside. On or about February 9 2021, the indoor ArrestAll AR-35 cartridge-type dust collector was used for collecting combustible grain dust from upstream process systems including bag loading stations and mills, as well as a material storage hopper. The ArrestAll AR-35 cartridge-type dust collector was located inside of the grain room, and not separated from other areas of the facility by construction having at least a one hour fire-resistance rating. This exposed employees working in the area to fire hazards including, but not limited to, burns from sparks and embers and respiratory irritation from hazardous byproducts of a fire (i.e. smoke and toxic combustion gases).
