Initial $3500.00 · Current $3500.00
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 the hazards of incompatible chemicals, cyanide solid or
liquid solutions, and
liquid acid solutions, that would produce Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN) gas if
combined in an
accidental spill or leak:
At the Manufacturing Facility, 22-07 41st Avenue, Long Island City, NY
On or about 9-29, 2005
a) In the basement, 3 x 55 gals of drums labeled "HCl" (a solution of
Hydrochloric Acid) and
2 drums labeled "CN Strip"  (a solution containing Sodium Cyanide) were
located inside of a
berm  57" x 82" x 5."   Storage of both chemicals inside of the same
containment berm would
result in the  mixing of liquids if the drums developed leaks.
b) On the 4th floor, 3 x 15 gallons of ENE Brown Dip that contains Chromic
Acid were stored
4 feet away from 6 containers of cyanide solids: 115 lbs of Copper
Cyanide, 200 lbs of Zinc
Cyanide, and approximately 115 lb containers of two more Zinc Cyanide, two
more Copper
Cyanide, and 1 Potassium Cyanide  container.
Abatement Note: Among other methods, one feasible method to abate this
condition would be
to store liquid acid solutions separately from cyanide liquid and solid
solutions.
NOTE: THE EMPLOYER IS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT ABATEMENT CERTIFICATION
FOR THIS ITEM, FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL RESULT IN AN ADDITIONAL PENALTY
OF $1000.00 AS PER 29 CFR 1903.19.
