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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 the
hazards of fire and explosion from aluminum dust. Hazards existed due to
the following equipment and work practices:
1. Velocity of 4500/ft. min. was not maintained.
2. The cyclone and collection drum were not bonded and grounded.
3. Material had collected to a depth of over 1 inch in the main trunk.
4. Dust was not removed from the dry collector on a daily basis.
5. The blower for drawing the dust laden air in to the collector was
not located on the clean air side of the collector.
6. Grinding wheels were dressed while on a spindle connected to an
aluminum dust collection with a steel grinding wheel dresser.
7. Dry dust collection system was not provided with explosion vents.
8. Internal lap joints were not facing the direction of airflow.
Foundry and production areas - An inadequate dust collection was
used to collect metal dust including but not limited to aluminum
dust.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement
method to correct this hazard is to install, use and maintain
an aluminum dust collection system in a safe manner. National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard No. 65,Standard
for Processing and Finishing of Aluminum, should be used
for guidance.
