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 a defective heater.
The automatic control valve on the RLP30 Propane Construction Heater was
wired in the
on or "down" position.  This valve is used as part of the starter/ignition
system.
The
valve overrides the thermal couple allowing gas to flow at startup.  By
wiring it on, it
allows the gas to continue to flow if the flame extinguishes.  One
feasible method of
abatement would have been to returned the heater to the distributer or
manufacturer for
repair or replacement.
NO ABATEMENT CERTIFICATION REQUIRED FOR THIS ITEM.
