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 an exothermic chemical
reaction:
(a) Outside Sulfuric Acid Holding Tank: The employer does not ensure that
all inlet portals on the sulfuric
acid tank are properly secured and covered to prevent water entry.  This
violation was observed on August 22,
2003.  The inlet tube of the 5,000 gallon sulfuric acid tank had a plastic
jug placed over it to keep water from
entering the tank. Employees were required to go up to the top of the tank
to take liquid level measurements
and were exposed to a potential exothermic reaction in the event water
enters the sulfuric acid tank.  To abate
this violation the employer must ensure that all inlet portals are
properly covered and secured to prevent water
entry into the sulfuric acid tank.
Among others methods, one feasible and acceptable means of abatement to
correct this hazard is to properly
secure and cover all inlet portals from water entry in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations,
equipped with either a secured screw cap or a tight pressure fitting cap.
Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19(d), the employer must provide documentation
that this violation has been abated
within 10 calendar days of the date it receives this citation.
