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 cotton or paper dust explosion, deflagration, or other fire hazards: (a)The baghouse dust collector, located outside the building, had no explosion protection. (b)There were no isolation devices between the baghouse dust collector, the cyclone, and the hammermill to prevent deflagration propagation between these pieces of equipment. (c)There was no isolation device between the baghouse dust collector and the building to prevent deflagration propagation from the baghouse dust collector back into the work area. (d)In the boom assembly area, along the West wall, the Pneumafil automatic panel filter dust collector was located inside the building and had no explosion protection. (e)There was no isolation device between the Pneumafil automatic panel filter dust collector and the work area to prevent deflagration propagation from the panel filter back into the work area. (f)There was no means to prevent foreign material from entering the dust collection systems. Feasible abatement methods include complying with NFPA 654 Standard for the Prevention of Fire and Dust Explosions from the Manufacturing, Processing, and Handling of Combustible Particulate Solids, such as but not limited to: (1) installing deflagration vents on both the bag house dust collector and the Pneumafil automatic panel filter dust collector, (2) installing deflagration isolation devices such as fast acting valve systems, and (3) installing permanent magnetic separators to remove tramp metal from the process stream.
