Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.178(c)(2)(vi)(a): Only approved power operated industrial trucks designated as EX shall be used in atmospheres in which combustible dust is or may be in suspension continuously, intermittently, or periodically under normal operating conditions, in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or ignitable mixtures, or where mechanical failure or abnormal operation of machinery or equipment might cause such mixtures to be produced. On or about July 29, 2025, an employee of Horizon Biofuels Inc. operated powered industrial trucks at the facility located at 950 South Union Street, Fremont, NE 68025, and was exposed to explosion hazards in that the employees used one of three propane powered industrial trucks within a woodworking facility that created large amounts of combustible dust during regular production operations.
