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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Initial $5,000 · Current $3,000 Reduced
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
employer did not
furnish to each of his employees 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 combustible dust
explosion:
On August 26, 2008, at and around the Re-Grind and Flour Rooms, employees
were exposed
to potential combustible dust deflagration due to:  (1) the existing dust
collector was installed
inside and lacked recognized controls (e.g. suppression, inerting,
venting, etc.) required for
safe operation, (2) pneumatic piping lacked adequate bonding and grounding
measures
including a procedure for testing continuity, and (3) there were no
controls of electrical
ignition sources during housekeeping.  Among other methods, one feasible
and acceptable
abatement method to correct the hazardous conditions would be adherence to
the safe design,
installation, and operation of agricultural dust systems as described in
NFPA 61 Standard for
the Prevention of Fires and Dust Explosions in Agricultural and Food
Processing Facilities -
2008 Edition.
Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with the
requirements of 29
CFR 1903.19(d).
