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 explosions: (a)In the furnace department, furnace operators were exposed to burns from explosions when operating the Ipsen heat treating furnace number 5. Air leaks into the furnace were occurring while the employees were placing or removing racks containing castings. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to comply with the requirements of the Ipsen Industries Instructional Manual for the heat treating equipment. This would include establishing daily and periodic inspections of the equipment and developing a maintenance schedule. 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
