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.

Section 6(a) of the Puerto Rico Occupational Safety and Health Act:  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 physical harm to employees in
that employees were
exposed to:
Seccion 6(a) de la Ley de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo de Puerto Rico:
El
patrono no
proveyo empleo y un sitio de empleo libre de riesgos reconocidos que esten
causando o que
puedan causar muerte o dano fisico a los empleados, por cuanto empleados
estaban expuestos
a:
At "AIJ-Centro de Detencion de Bayamon", kitchen area, employees performed
food
preparation  works and were been exposed to heat stress (prolonged
increase in deep
body temperatures due exposure to high levels of  heat). The interior Wet
Bulb
Temperature, Globe Temperature (WBGT) results in temperatures of over 27.7
centigrade degrees due to the air conditioner system was damaged. The
employer had
tried to fix the problem improvising an extractor in the window of the
kitchen but the
flow of the heat and humidity passed through the area affecting the
employees. The other
doors remained closed by reasons of security. The employees activity can
be classified
as moderate since all along the shift they have to be standing, walking or
lifting
full pots
and casseroles. The following table shows the temperatures obtained in the
areas of
kitchen and served meals with the Heat Stress Monitor:

Among other methods, various feasible and acceptable  methods to correct
this hazard
are: Repair the air conditioning system (engineering control) to reduce
the WBGT
interior under the indicated by the ACGIH (2001 TLVs y BEIs de 27.5
centigrade
degrees). Also they should repair the hood extractors over the stoves so
they capture the
heat and humidity that comes from foods and to avoid that it crosses the
kitchen.
Meanwhile they need to implement mitigation controls that allow sufficient
recovery and
limit physiological strain such as: to provide accurate, verbal and
written instructions,
frequent training programs, and other information about heat stress and
strain; encourage
to drink small amount (approximately one cup) of cool water about every 20
minutes; to
allow self-limitation  of exposure or resting periods and encourage
co-worker observation
to detect signs and symptoms of heat strain in others; to monitor those
who take
medications that may compromise normal cardiovascular, blood pressure,
regulation of
body temperature, renal and sweat gland functions.
En AIJ-Centro de Detencion de Bayamon, area de cocina, empleados
realizaron trabajosde preparacion de alimentos  y fueron expuestos a
estres calorico (aumento prolongado
en la temperatura interior del cuerpo por exposicion a altos niveles de
calor.) Las
temperaturas en el interior "Wet Bulb Temperature, Globe Temperature
(WBGT)"resultaron sobre 27.7 grados centigrados, ya que el sistema de aire
acondicionado estaba danado. El patrono habia tratado de corregir el
problema
improvisando un extractor en la ventana de la cocina pero la direccion del
calor y la
humedad atraviesan el area afectando a los empleados. Las demas puertas
permanecian
cerradas por motivos de seguridad. La actividad de los empleados se puede
clasificar
como moderada ya que estan todo el tiempo parados, caminando o levantando
ollas y
cacerolas llenas. La siguiente tabla muestra las temperaturas obtenidas
con el "Heat
Stress Monitor" en las areas de cocina y servido de comidas:

Entre otros metodos, varios metodos razonables y aceptables de corregir
este riesgo son:
Reparar el sistema de acondicionador del aire (control de ingenieria) para
bajar el WBGT
interior por debajo de lo indicado por la ACGIH (2001 TLVs y BEIs de 27.5
grados
centigrados). Tambien se debe reparar los extractores de campana sobre las
estufas para
que capturen el calor y la humedad que resulta de la coccion de los
alimentos y no
atraviesen la cocina. Mientras tanto deben implementar controles generales
que permitan
suficiente recuperacion y limite la tension fisiologica tales como:
proveer intrucciones
escritas y verbales precisas, frecuentes programas de adiestramiento y
cualquier otra
informacion acerca de estres calorico y tension; fomentar el beber un
volumen pequeno
(aproximadamente una taza) de agua fria cada 20 minutos; permitir la
auto-limitacion de
exposicion o periodos de descanzo y fomentar la observacion de los
companeros de
trabajo para detectar senales y sintomas de tension por calor entre otros;
monitorear a
aquellos que toman medicamentos que puedan comprometer las funciones
cardiovasculares normales, la presion sanguinea, la regulacion de la
temperatura del
cuerpo, las funciones renales y de la glandula del sudor.la
