General-duty citation text
North Carolina General Statute 95-129(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of North Carolina: The employer did not furnish each of his employees conditions of employment and a place of employment 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/or explosion hazards due to a dust collector handling class II combustible dust being located central to the work environment without the protection, venting or size requirements for inside use: a)wood shop- where the Murphy-Rodgers MRSE dust collector (Model MRSE-14) that captured combustible class II dust from employees cutting of the Urea-Formaldehyde (UF) Bonded Wood Products or particle board was located inside the building central to employee work areas and did not meet the protection, venting or size requirements for inside use on or about October 29, 2009. ABATEMENT NOTE: Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct these hazards is to comply with the National Fire Protections Association (NFPA), 664 standard for the "Prevention of Fire and Explosions in Wood Processing and Woodworking Facilities" Chapter 8, Woodworking Dust-Control Systems, Section 2.2 which states "Dust collectors shall be located outside of buildings." Two exceptions are listed which permit dust collectors to be located inside of buildings: 1. If they are located adjacent to an exterior wall, or vented to the outside through straight ducts not exceeding 10 feet (3 meters) in length, and have explosion vents. 2. If protected by an explosion suppression system meeting the requirements of NFPA 69, Standard on Explosion Prevention System.
