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 fragments: (a)Shop - Employees using pneumatic tools were exposed to being struck by flying fragments associated with the use of Schedule 40, 1/2 inch polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe used to transport compressed air in an above ground installation. According to the Plastic Pipe Institute and the manufacturer's recommendations, PVC piping does not possess shatter resistant properties, and failure of the piping presents a serious hazard to employees from the resultant flying shards or pipe fragments, which are rapidly propelled by the released energy of a suddenly decompressing gas. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method for correcting this hazard includes using Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) plastic piping specifically marked as approved for transporting compressed air.ressed
