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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 burns from ignition of gas leaks due to
improper gas hose connectors, unsuitable lengths of hose from fixed
piping to use end, and/or lack of a readily accessible manual shut-off
valve:
a)   Ladle Cleaning Area - Rubber hose used for supplying
gas to ladle torches exceeded 6 feet in length, lacked
approved hose connectors, and a plainly marked
shutoff
valve that was readily accessible.
Among other methods, feasible and acceptable abatement methods to
correct this hazard are to utilize piping/flexible hosing system/
shut-off valves as stipulated by ANSI Z223.1-1984, Part 3 and 5,
Z21.451985,
Parts I and II, and Z21.2-1983/Z21.2a-1985, Parts I and II.  Safe
practices would include:
1.     Manual gas shut-off valves be plainly marked for the machines
they control and be readily accessible.
2.     Flexible hose connected to equipment from piping, for
mobility/vibration reasons, be suitable and safe for the
condition used and not exceed 6 feet in length.  Suitability can
be achieved by either the hose connector manufacturer's approval
for use with natural gas or the local gas utility company's
approval.
