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 that 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 fire and explosion: On or about Oct. 4, 2010 employees were exposed to fire and explosion hazards due to the close proximity of a sprinkler system riser to an oven that heated magnesium metal. The heat from a magnesium fire in Oven 5B ruptured the sprinkler system riser releasing water onto molten metal causing a series of explosions. Among other methods, one feasible and accepted abatement method to correct this hazard is to move the oven away from the sprinkler riser in accordance with NFPA 86-2011, National Fire Protection Agency Standard for Ovens and Furnaces.
