5(a)(1)

Serious Gravity 01 1 instance 4 exposed
Issued
Abate by
Penalty
Initial $828.00 · Current $497.00 Reduced
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 flying debris:
At this location, in the central yard adjacent to the Giant Shear,
employees were
exposed to the hazards of flying shards in that 90 psi. compressed air was
delivered to the area via Poly-Vinyl-Chloride (PVC) piping.  Plastic pipe
is
subject to shattering and couplings are subject to failure when exposed to
the
pressures of compressed gasses.
One acceptable means of abatement would be to replace the existing PVC
piping
with a type suitable for the transmission of compressed gasses.
