General-duty citation text

Nevada Revised Statute 618.375(1):  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:
a.Employee were exposed to injuries resulting from being struck by
fragments of
schedule 40 PVC pipe, used to distribute up to 90-100 psi of compressed
air,
which is not recommended by the manufacturer because of heat breakdown and
potential fragmentation.
One feasible method, among others, would be to replace the PVC pipe with a
pipe capable of withstanding compressed air distribution.
Reference:  PVC manufacturers data caution and warning notices which state,
"Do not use compressed air or gas for pressure testing", "PVC and CPVC
products are not recommended for use in compressed air or gas systems", and
"The manufacturer does not recommend its PVC or CPVC products for use in
air
or compressed gas systems. PVC and CPVC pipe, fittings, and valves are
excellent products for the transport of water and corrosive chemicals. But
there
are a number of other piping products that are especially designed and
suited for
compressed air and gases", and finally, from Apache Plastics Company, the
manufacturer in this case, "Do not use or test PVC pipe with compressed
air or
gas, as the sudden release of stored energy can result in a catastrophic
failure."hic
