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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

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 severe burn injuries from the potential dust
explosion hazard that
could have resulted from, or been exacerbated by the location of the dust
collectors indoors
in a Class II, Division 1 area, the use of non-conductive and corrugated
flexible ductwork,
and the lack of daily cleaning of the collection system.
a.)Sanding Area- Employees sanded aluminum parts using two (2) Hammond
Variable Speed
Polishing and Buffing Lathes and collected the dust using two (2) Hammond
DK-855
Cyclone DusKolector dust collectors, model 855-B, serial numbers 16466 and
12980. They
were not located outside the building, nor were barriers located between
the dust collector
and personnel. The flexible ductwork was not constructed of a
nonconductive
material with a
smooth interior, but rather was corrugated and conductive. The dust
collector was not
designed by the manufacturer to be used for aluminum dust. Dust was not
removed from the
dust collectors on a daily basis. Exhaust air from the dust collector was
recycled back into
the building, on or about 3-9-05.
