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) Employees were exposed to fire or explosion hazards where natural gas, the fuel gas used in conjunction with air from a compressor for soldering operation(s), was supplied through flexible copper tubing connected to rubber hose (torch hose) which was then connected to the torch. The connection(s) were made by sliding the torch hose over the copper tubing or the inlet at the torch without a clamp or other device to secure the connection and prevent it from accidently being pulled apart and allowing gas to escape. Additionally, manual shut off valves were not readily accessible in that they were partially blocked by radiator test tank(s), unused cylinders, etc. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable means for abating this condition includes ensuring compliance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, 1996, Sections 2.6.9, 3.10 and 5.5.2, respectively, as it applies to the design, installation and use of pipe, tubing and fittings to supply natural gas. Specifically, (1) joint connections between the tubing and hose shall be clamped (or secured by other compression-type fittings) so that the longitudinal pull-out resistance is equal to the tensile strength of the piping material (torch hose) and are free of rough or sharp edges; (2) manual gas shut off valves shall be available and accessible; and (3) the connector (torch hose) shall be of minimum length and shall not exceed 6'.eed
