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 fire hazards due to a Snap-on Parts Washer not being installed in accordance with manufacturer guidelines: (a) Colorado Fasteners, Inc., 11450 N Cherokee St. Unit B-2, Northglenn, CO 80234: On or before 8/9/05, the employer did not ensure that the Snap-on Part Washer (#PBD3222) was installed in accordance with manufacturer guidelines. The employer modified the parts washer by installing an additional solvent basin for the soaking of equipment. The height of the solvent basin would not allow for the safety cover to close on the parts washer in the event of a fire. The condition would potentially expose employees to smoke inhalation and burns. Among other methods, examples of feasible and acceptable methods to correct this hazard include: (1) Remove the solvent basin to allow the safety cover to close uniformly; (2) Lower the solvent basin to allow the safety cover to close uniformly; (3) Contact the manufacturer for input on approved solvent basis add-on options. Abatement Note: Abatement certification is required for this item (see enclosed "Sample Abatement-Certification Letter").-Certification
