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: a) Contact of molten aluminum with water accumulating on the floor between die casting machines #1 and #2 during the manual transport of full ladles of metal from caster to caster. In addition, remelt scrap from the adjacent trim presses may fall onto the wet floor and be dumped into the furnaces for the die casting machine. Contact of water with molten aluminum will cause violent explosions. One feasible and acceptable abatement method, among others, to correct this hazard is to provide a drainage system behind die casting machine #1 to assist in the removal of the lubricant (water based) over spray to the central drainage system and ensure proper maintenance of the system so that water does not stand in the casting area.
