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
the hazard of fire and explosion from accidentally dischargedflammable
and combustible liquids:
a) On or about September 19 and 20, 1989, in bonded warehouse
there was a spill of 188 proof alcohol from the number 4
storage and regauge tank that was not cleaned up promptly.
One feasible and acceptable abatement method, among others, to correct
this hazard is to establish and implement maintenance and operating
procedures which tend to control leakage and prevent accidental
discharge of flammable and combustible liquids and to assure that all
spills are cleaned up promptly.
For quidance refer to the National Fire Protection Association's
Flammable and Combustible Liquids code handbook. First edition, 1981,
