General-duty citation text
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish employment or 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 potentially hazardous chemicals produced during the mixture of incompatible materials: (a) Employees were exposed to the hazards of materials, such as, but not limited to; sulfuric acid, caustic soda, sodium hypochlorite, ethylene glycol, ammonia, mineral spirits and other hazardous substances while performing assigned activities involving the production of cleaning materials. Storage of 55 gallon drums and other containers of acids, caustic, flammable, combustible, organic solvents and materials were not maintained in a safe manner. The inventory of materials, as described, were stored all together and adjacent to each other, creating the hazard of the mixture of incompatible chemicals. Among other methods, one feasible abatement method recommended would be to: (1) Separate acids, alkalines, organic solvents, flammable/combustible materials to prevent incompatible materials from being stored together and mixing. (2) Isolate acids, alkalines, flammable/combustibles, organic solvents and other materials in a manner, that in the event of a spill/leak or other foreseeable emergency, incompatible materials are separated by a sufficient distance and/or in a manner to prevent cross contamination of incompatible materials.
