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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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

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 hazard of being struck by fragments of
plastic pipe used to
transport compressed air for the operation of air operated tools and air
used for cleaning, in
the event the piping ruptures:
a. Throughout the cement block manufacturing area, polyvinyl chloride (
PVC )
plastic pipe was used to transport compressed air in exposed above ground
locations,
for the operation of air operated equipment, tools, machines and air used
for cleaning,
a practice not recommended by the Plastics Pipe Institute and prohibited by
ANSI/ASME B31.8-1986, Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems
standard, on or about 9/1/94.
Among other methods one feasible and acceptable method to correct this
hazard
is to replace
the PVC piping with a type that is approved for transporting compressed
gases in exposed
above ground locations, such as iron, steel piping, or plastic piping
designed for compressed
air applications.
