What this inspection record means

OSHA opens inspections for many reasons: routine scheduling under a national or local emphasis program, an employee complaint or referral, or a follow-up after a reported injury. Opening or conducting an inspection is not itself an allegation or a finding that this employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

General-duty citation text

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 potential asphyxia hazards:
On or about February 5, 2005 and times thereafter, employees working near
the Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) freeze line were exposed to the
recognized hazard of an oxygen deficient associated with the use of liquid
nitrogen, a simple asphyxiant. The potential for oxygen deficiency was
demonstrated on or about February 5, 2005 when the local fire department
measured 10to 13oxygen in the work area. Additional exposures
occurred on or about February 23, 2005 when the oxygen levels in production
areas were as low as 18.4oxygen.
Feasible means of abatement to correct this hazard include, but are not
limited to:
(a)Installation and use of adequate ventilation at all times during
operation as recommended by the Compressed Gas Association
(CGA) standard CGA P-12 Safe Handling of Cryogenic Liquids,
1993, with particular attention to section 3.9.2 Protective
Equipment and 3.9.4 Multiple precautions for oxygen-deficient
areas.
(b)Installation and use of appropriate monitoring equipment with
alarms to constantly monitor the oxygen content as
recommended by the Compressed Gas Association (CGA)
standard CGA P-12 Safe Handling of Cryogenic Liquids, 1993,
with particular attention to section 3.9.4 Multiple precautions
for oxygen-deficient areas and CGA P-14 Accident Prevention
in Oxygen-Rich and Oxygen-Deficient Atmospheres, 1992, with
particular attention to the entire part of section 6 Detection of
oxygen-rich or oxygen-deficient atmospheres.
