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 the hazard of flying debris: At this location, in the wood shop, employees were exposed to the hazards of flying shards, in that the shop air was piped through schedule 40, Poly-Vinyl Chloride (PVC) piping. Plastic pipe is subject to failure and shattering when exposed to the pressure of compressed gasses. A means of abatement would be to replace the existing PVC piping with a type suitable for the transmission of compressed gasses.
