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.

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:
At the shop, schedule 40 PVC pipe was used for transporting compressed air
exposing
employees working in the area to the hazard of being struck by plastic
shards in the event
of pipe failure.
Among other methods, the following are feasible and acceptable methods to
minimize the
probability of injury during the transfer of compressed air throughout the
shop.
1.Follow American Society for Testing and Material (ASTM) Standard
D1785-86, which states poly vinyl chloride (PVC), pipes can be used for
transportation of compressed air and gasses only if the PVC pipes are
made of shatter resistant material or are encased in a shatter resistant
material.
2.Follow American National Standards Institute/American Society of
Mechanical Engineers (ANSI/ASME) B31.8-198 Gas Transmission and
Distribution Piping Systems Standard which limits the operating pressure
of plastic piping distribution systems to 100 pounds per square inch (psi)
and prohibits the installation of such systems above ground except where
the above ground portion is completely enclosed in a conduit or casing.
3.Replace all existing PVC pipe used for compressed air with a cast iron,
or other type of approved type piping rated to transport compressed air
safely above ground.
