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 are exposed to the hazard of an explosive release of compressed gas and projectiles as well as exposure to flammable or explosive gas that results from the shredding of the pressurized gas cylinders: a) Recycle Metal Corporation - Shredder/Conveyor Area: The employer failed to ensure that pressurized gas cylinders are removed from the scrap being conveyed into the American Pulverizer 60x60 Shredder machine in accordance with the requirements of the Compressed Gas Association and the Institute of Scrap Recylcing Industries on or about 12/28/09. Abatement certification required within 10 days after abatement date. The certification shall include a statement that abatement is complete, date and method of abatement, and states employees and their representatives were informed of this abatement. ABATEMENT NOTE: One feasible and acceptable method of abatement would be to develop and post written procedures to ensure that proper inspections are conducted on all incoming scrap to ensure that hazardous items including compressed gas cylinders do not enter the shredder and ensure that employees, who perform these inspections of scrap materials at various stages of processing, are trained to properly identify problem cylinders that have not been properly decommissioned for destruction as scrap. Such a procedure should be developed using requirements contained in the Compressed Gas Association Pamphlet P-22 and the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) - Safety Reference Manual - Version 1.1.
