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 including severe burns, to employees in that employees were exposed to dust explosion, deflagration, or other fire hazards from electrical hazards. a)Feed Mill: Employee were exposed to accumulated grain dust of 5/8th of an inch, explosion severity of 0.97, and open electrical wiring in a conduit on the fuel switch box (110v) where agricultural products are ground including, but not limited to, corn and molasses.

The NFPA standard - Number 69 - Chapter 4 - Paragraph 4420 - Explosion Suppression Systems states "Since the design of a suppression system is based upon the (a) rate of pressure rise, (b) rate of burning, etc., of a deflagration during its incipient stages, such information is necessary for proper design. Extensive testing has been accomplished on a wide range of materials, but as new materials and processes are developed, tests shall be performed on them." The NFPA standard - Number 69 - Chapter 4 - Paragraph 4512 - Explosion Suppression Systems states "Static pressure detectors are used where a constant pressure level is normal. A fast response is essential for rapid detection along with maximum overpressure sensitivity." ABATEMENT CERTIFICATION AND DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED.TION
