General-duty citation text
T.C.A. 50-3-105(1): 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: In that employees were using the same rubber hose, interchangeably between the caustic soda and sulfuric acid spigots, in order to transfer them to smaller containers. These two chemicals are incompatible and the resulting combination of the two, which is feasible since some residue from each chemical remained inside the rubber hose, can result in a violent reaction that can cause the chemicals to splatter and/or generate heat. A feasible means of abatement would be to install different sized connectors to each pipe spigot which would ensure the hoses were not able to be switched and the chemicals cross contaminated.
