OSHA opens inspections for many reasons — routine scheduling under a national or local emphasis program, an employee complaint or referral, or a follow-up after a reported injury. Opening or conducting an inspection is not itself an allegation or a finding that this employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

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 the hazard of fire and/or explosion due to levels of flammable vapors in the work area in excess of the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL). On 3/12/97 an employee was engaged in the spray application of Trin-Kote LS High-Build Sanding Sealer, a flammable liquid, at 308 Village Drive, Breckenridge, CO. The ventilation was inadequate to maintain the flammable vapor level below the LEL and an ignition source ultimately ignited the vapors. The subsequent explosion and fire resulted in severe injury to an employee. ABATEMENT NOTE: The level of flammable vapors that are generated during spray finishing operations must be kept below the LEL, and should not exceed 25of the LEL. This may be accomplished by: a) Substituting the flammable finish to one that is non-flammable (e.g., water based). b) Reducing the rate of application to prevent dangerous vapor accumulation. c) Providing adequate ventilation to maintain vapor concentrations at safe levels. Any mechanical ventilation must be non-sparking and approved for use in flammable atmospheres. The LEL may be monitored by use of a commercially available flammable vapor (LEL) monitor.
