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 in that employees were exposed to the hazards of dust explosions, deflagration,and/or other fire hazards from its dust collection systems. a). Base Cell Area: The Base Cell high-volume dust collector was located inside the building and was otherwise lacking in explosion/deflagration/fire protective devices. b). The high-volume fabric dust collector for the Main Blower system was located inside the building and was otherwise lacking in explosion/deflagration/fire protective devices. c). The Costa Sander Enclosureless Dust Collector was located inside the building directly adjacent to the operator's station and 11 feet from the main aisle leading to the Breakroom Emergency Exit. Potential ignition sources include sparks from electrical equipment &/or failures, sparks from tramp metal, static sparks, mechanical failures, and/or overheating of parts. Abatement Note: Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct these hazards is to implement the protective measures (prospective and retroactive) set forth in the National Fire Protection Agency Standard for the Prevention of Fires and Explosions in Wood Processing and Woodworking Facilities, NFPA 664 (2007 edition), such as: relocating the high-volume dust collectors to locations outside the building and equipping them with spark detection, fire suppression, explosion isolation, and/or deflagration venting; and moving the enclosureless dust collector to a location outside the building or locating it at least 20 feet from any work area and means of egress.
