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 the potential hazard of fire and explosion: a) On or about 8/31/06 in Plant 5 at Hog #1; use of a 4" hand grinder to redress the metal blades of the Hog, creating sparks in an area where combustible dust ( cotton dust) was present without a hot work permit system. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this condition would be the implementation of a written hot work permit system as described in Section 9.5.2 of NFPA 654 - 2006 edition ( NFPA 51B - 2003 edition).
