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) Location: Production Area; Employees were exposed to a back-flash fire hazard. On or about 6/23/95, employees were unprotected whenever back-flash fires shot out from the area of the damper actuator located under the Burns, Model 24-30 Fry-O-Matic machine that was not maintained according to the manufacturer's instruction. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method is to make sure that all maintenance workers read and understand the operating and maintenance instructions for the Fry-O-Matic machine and follow the procedures to include using original equipment parts or the equivalent.
