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 flying debris:
At this location, employees involved in a boat building operation were
exposed
to the hazards of flying debris in that compressed air of 150 psig. for
spray
finishing and air-powered hand tools was transported by way of schedule 40
PVC
pipe.  Polyvinylchloride pipe is not approved for the transmission of
compressed
gasses because of its tendency to release, violently, shards of debris
capable of
penetrating metal surfaces.
Among other methods, one means of abatement would be to replace the
existing
PVC piping with a type suitable for the transmission of compressed gasses.
