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 hazard of exploding plastic compressed air lines: (a)Rubadue Wire Co., Inc. at 1301 N. 17th Ave., Greeley, CO 80631: In the shop area of the facility, the employer was transporting above ground compressed air through schedule 40, 1120 polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes. The PVC pipe is used to supply compressed air throughout the facility. This condition exposed the employees to the hazard of being struck by plastic shrapnel if the pipe explodes. Among other methods, two feasible and acceptable abatement methods to correct this hazard are to: (1)Follow American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standard D1785- 86, which states polyvinyl chloride (PVC), pipe can be used for transportation of compressed air and gases only if the PVC pipe is made of shatter resistant material or are encased in a shatter resistant material. (2)Replace all existing PVC pipes with a cast iron or other type of metal type piping rated to transport compressed air safety above ground. Abatement Note: Abatement certification and documentation are required for this item (see enclosed "Sample Abatement-Certification Letter").-Certification
