General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) The employer did not furnish employment and a place of
employment which
was free from recognized hazards that were causing, or were likely to
cause death or serious
physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to potential
chemical and fire
hazards:
a. On or about August 12, 2010, and at times prior, employees were
required to use an
unrated garden hose for the transfer of jet fuel from storage tanks to a
refueling tanker truck.
In addition, the deadman switch used to start and stop the flow of jet
fuel was inoperable;
employees were required to bypass the normal controls and use a
push-button start/stop
system for jet fuel transfer.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct these hazards
is to refer to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 407-17 through
407-18, which
sets specifications for aircraft fuel hoses and NFPA 407-40, which
requires
and specifies the
use of deadman controls to start and stop the transfer of jet fuel.
Abatement Note:  Abatement certification is required for this item (see
enclosed "Sample
Abatement-Certification Letter").
