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 being struck by flying objects
resulting from
exploding pipe being used for above ground compressed air transport:
At this establishment, exposed PVC pipe and fittings were being used to
transport compressed air throughout the shop at pressures in excess of 80
psi.
PVC pipe is subject to exploding under the stress of compressed air
showering
employees with shards of plastic causing cuts and lacerations.
Among other methods, one feasible means of abatement would be to replace
the PVC pipe and fittings with galvanized pipe and fittings as addresses
in the
Plastic Pipe Institute Recommendation B-1972.
