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 lacerations due to high pressure hydroblasting: Pulp Mill, 2nd Floor - On June 23,1997 employees were exposed to the hazard of being struck by high pressure water while hydroblasting a (12) twelve inch diameter vertical stock line and were not protected from the hose exiting the line while under pressure. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct the hazardous condition would be to provide a device the hose passes through which is secured to the line being cleaned and prevents the nozzle from exiting the pipe. If the possibility exists that the hose can turn in the line, one method of abatement and prevention is to install a "stinger" (metal extension) of varying length on the front end of the lance.
