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
being struck by fragments of plastic pipe used to transport compressed
air, in the event the pipe ruptures:
a) Throughout the plant, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic pipe was used
to transport compressed air in exposed above ground locations, a
practice not recommended by the Plastics Pipe Institute and
prohibitied by ANSI/ASME B31.8-1986, Gas Transmission and
Distribution Piping Systems Standard, on or about April 6, 1989.
Among other methods one feasible and acceptable method to correct this
hazard is to replace the PVC piping with a type of pipe that is approved
for transporting compressed gases in exposed above ground locations,
such as Acrylonitpile - Butadiene - Styrene (ABS).
