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 the natural
gas fired burners in the Cuprite oven located in the North Foundry were
not equipped with
combustion safeguards that shut off the flow of fuel gas if the burner
flame is extinguished:
a.Chase Brass & Copper Company LLC located in Montpelier, Ohio:  On or
about
September 7, 2010, the employer did not ensure the Cuprite oven located in
