What this inspection record means

OSHA opens inspections for many reasons — routine scheduling under a national or local emphasis program, an employee complaint or referral, or a follow-up after a reported injury. Opening or conducting an inspection is not itself an allegation or a finding that this employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

General-duty citation text

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 possible burns and injuries caused by fragments due to
possible leakage or  rupture
of dryer cans on PM #'s 3,4,& 5. These cans are under pressures ranging
from 30 PSI to 100
PSI and had not been properly inspected to determine among other things,
wall thicknesses,
existence of cracking, and conditions of head bolts. One feasible and
accepted method to correct
this hazard is to implement an unfired pressure vessel program in
accordance with TAPPI, 1988,
TIS 040216, Paragraph E.
A)  LOCATION: MACHINE ROOMS
THOROUGH INSPECTIONS WERE NOT DONE AND THE SUPPORTING
DOCUMENTATION KEPT TO INSURE THAT THE TWO YANKEE DRYER CANS ON PM
#3 AND #4  AND THE DRYER CANS ON PM #4 WERE STRUCTURALLY SOUND TO
PROHIBIT LEAKAGE AND/OR RUPTURE OF THE PRESSURIZED CANS.
