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 chemical burns due to a chemical release: (a)On or about 02/22/06 the butterfly valve for pump DE-HMD-H403-PU4794 was operating with the valve indicator in the open position even though the valve indicator showed the valve in the closed position, as a result of earlier maintenance work that misaligned the valve indicator". Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard is to develop and implement written procedures for inspection and certification of valves and valve open and closed indicators for proper installation and function..
