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 hazards such as, but not limited to, explosions, struck-by, and steam hazards due to improperly fabricated welds on the tire curing unit clamps. a) Titan Tire Corporation of Bryan, Bryan Ohio: On or about November 23, 2008, the employer did not ensure that the welds on the clamps/locking assemblies securing the top and bottom halves of the 53/80R-63 tire curing unit 414 were of sufficient strength to ensure a safe operation of the unit. 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. Among other methods, some feasible means of abatement would be to follow American Welding Society D1.1 2004 sections: 5.5 Welding Procedure Specification (WPS) Variables: The welding variables shall be in conformance with a written WPS. All welders, welding operators, and tack welders shall be informed in the proper use of the WPS, and the applicable WPS shall be followed during the performance of welding. 5.13 Conformance with Design: The sizes and lengths of welds shall be no less than those specified by design requirements and detail drawings, except as allowed in Table 6.1. The location of welds shall not be changed without approval of the Engineer. 6.5.1 Size, Length, and Location of Welds: The Inspector shall make certain that the size, length, and location of all welds conform to the requirements of this code and to the detail drawings and that no unspecified welds have been added without the approval of the Engineer. 6.5.2 WPS. The Inspector shall make certain that only WPSs are employed which meet the provisions of Section 3 or Section 4. 6.9 Visual Inspection. All welds shall be visually inspected and shall be acceptable if the criteria of Table 6.1 are satisfied.

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 hazards such as, but not limited to, explosions, struck-by and steam hazards due to the lack of proof testing prior to placing the tire curing unit into service: (a) Titan Tire Corporation of Bryan, Bryan, Ohio: on or about November 23, 2008, the employer did not ensure that proof testing for maximum allowable working pressure was conducted on the 53/80R-63 tire curing unit 414 prior to placing it in service. 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. Among other methods, one feasible means of abatement to correct this hazard is to ensure the mechanical integrity of the unit before operation by conducting a hydrostatic test after fabrication and examinations have been completed, test pressure at every point being equal to at least 1.3 times the maximum allowable working pressure, and all loadings that may exist during this test being given consideration.
