Serious Gravity 10 1 instance 8 exposed
Issued
Abate by
Penalty
Initial $1500.00 · Current $375.00 Reduced
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 the hazard of a 55 gallon metal drum rupturing or exploding
that had air pressure applied for transferring turbine oil out of the
drum:
(a)  In Storage Room, southwest corner, adjacent to Downrigger
Technician station.  The employer allowed the employees to trans-
fer turbine oil out of a 55 gallon drum which had bulging in the
top and bottom of the metal container by applying air pressure.
While ultimate responsibility for correcting the hazard rests with
the employer, given his/her superior knowledge of the workplace,
feasible and acceptable methods to correct this hazard, among
others, are:
(1)  Transfer oil from drum into a smaller container by using
a hand pump;
(2)  Turn the 55 gallon drum horizontal on a rack and install
a spout using gravity flow into a smaller container; or
(3)  Purchase a pressure vessel designed for the purpose of
using air pressure for transferring.

strength to provide protection from external damage and
deterioration; or
