Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 007 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.178(c)(2)(vi)(a): The employer did not provide powered industrial trucks designated as EX for use in an atmosphere 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: a) Bagger Room and Shavings Storage Room - On or about December 30, 2012, a powered industrial truck that was not rated for use in hazardous locations was used in the presence of a Class II Explosive Wood Dust suspended in air including but not limited to normal operations and during a blow down cleaning procedure. The powered industrial truck operates in areas with accumulation of the dust on the floor, potentially generating dust clouds as driving over it. The Hyundai (Model HLF25-11 Serial HC1012277) powered industrial truck is not a EX rated and does not guard against hazardous dust reaching ignition sources such as sparking components or hot surfaces.
