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.

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 the propane fired burners in the Class B bar heating furnaces located in the hammer shop were not equipped with flame supervision that shuts off the flow of fuel gas if the burner flame is extinguished: a.S K Hand Tool Corporation located in Defiance, Ohio: On or about June 25, 2009, the employer did not ensure the propane fired burners for the Class B bar heating furnaces located in the hammer shop were equipped with flame supervision. The propane fuel gas is piped into the building , flows through a regulator, and is directed into each side of the furnace where it is ignited with an oil fired ignition system. After the propane burners are ignited the oil ignition system is manually turned off. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard is to equip the furnaces with safety devices such as flame supervision according to NFPA 86, Standard for Ovens and Furnaces 2007 edition. In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d), abatement certification is required for this violation (using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET), and in addition, documentation demonstrating that abatement is complete must be included with your certification. This documentation may include, but is not limited to, evidence of the purchase or repair of the equipment, photographic or video evidence of abatement, or other written records.
