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.

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:
a.The employer did insure a drying process was in place that insured all
metal parts
were completely dry prior to there being lowered into a high temperature
salt
bath. This exposes employees to the severe burn hazards associated with
being
struck by ejected molten salt. It is common industry practice to insure
metal being
heat treated is devoid of moisture. Historically, steam explosions caused
by the
introduction of moisture into molten metal or high temperature chemicals
are a
highly recognized hazard in these type of industries.  Feasible mean of
abatement
such as but not limited too pre-heating the metal to be treated to insure
all
moisture is removed would be acceptable.
Certification, and documentation/evidence of abatement is required.
Certification of abatement is required by 29 CFR Part 1903 and is to be
submitted within ten (10)
calendar days after the abatement date.ment
