Hazardous substances E101

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,
including severe burns,
to employees in that employees were exposed to dust explosion,
deflagration, or other fire
hazards from mixers not being dust tight.
(a)  Accel Color Corporation (Accel Corporation), Avon, Ohio:  On or about
February 28,
2008, Mixer 2 manufactured by Prodex (Model 500; Serial 830802) was not
maintained to
ensure a dust tight seal between the mixer housing and the lid.  During
mixing operations
with combustible dust, dust would leak out between the mixer housing and
the lid into the air
around the mixer posing a combustible dust hazard.
Abatement Note:  Among other methods, a feasible abatement method to
correct this hazard
is to repair the seal on Mixer 2 to ensure dust does not escape when
mixing.
Reference the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 654 Standard for the
Prevention of Fire and
Dust Explosions from Manufacturing, Processing, and Handling of
Combustible Particulate
Solids.
In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d), abatement certification is required
for this
violation (using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET),
and in addition, documentation demonstrating that abatement is complete
must be
included with your certification.  This documentation may include, but is
not limited to,
evidence of the purchase or repair of the equipment, photographic or video
evidence of
abatement, or other written records.
