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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Serious Gravity 10 1 instance 7 exposed
Issued
Jan 24, 1996
Abate by

Penalty
Initial $7,000 · Current $3,500 Reduced
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.  Employees were exposed to the hazard of a
starch
dust explosion and/or a flash fire while loading corn starch into bulk
trailers.
At Building 134, in the bulk trailer starch loading area, employee(s) were
loading
corn starch into bulk trailers through a pneumatic system.  The flexible
hose,
(tubing), used on the loading spout was not conductive as specified in NFPA
publication 61A, (9.5), 1989 edition.
Among other methods, feasible and acceptable abatement methods to correct
this
hazard would be to:
(1).Follow the recommendations of NFPA 61A,(9.5), and install conductive
hose/tubing between the dry starch transfer pipe and loading spout, at the
bulk
truck load out station.
(2).Establish procedures to check the continuity on the conductive
hose/tubing
used for dry starch loading.
