Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004C Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.94(a)(4)(i): The construction, installation, inspection, and maintenance of exhaust systems did not conform to the principles and requirements set forth in the American National Fundamentals Governing the Design and Operation of Local Exhaust Systems, Z9.2-1960, and ANSI Z33.1-1961, which is incorporated by reference as specified in 29 CFR 1910.6: On or about December 12, 2017, Building 8 Abrasive Blast Room exhaust did not conform to principle and requirements of ANSI Z9.2-1960, including but not limited to the air volume flow rate of make-up air, the air velocity in the desired control area and the location of the intake air supply. Abrasive blast room air flow was measured by OSHA on or about December 12, 2017 in front of the exhaust face area of the blasting room measured zero (0) feet per minute. Furthermore, the exhaust air was recycled into the adjacent work space, building 8A, possibly exposing employees to abrasive blasting dust.
