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 the employees were exposed to the hazard of being burned by a flash fire. a) Site - Service Center Lift Station 25500 Wellfield Rd. Bonita Springs, Fl. 34135 Employees were exposed to being burned from a flash fire when flammable gases and/or vapors were ignited during a demonstration of a fluid level radar transmitter, on or about 11/05/09. Among other methods one feasible and acceptable abatement would be to: 1. In order to prevent explosions and/or employee overexposures, monitoring must be done by a calibrated, direct reading instrument for the presence of flammable gases and vapors after the opening of sewer valves and prior to and during the demonstration and use of non-intrinsically safe equipment such as but not limited to fluid level radar transmitters. 2. Continuous forced air ventilation is to be used prior to the use of non- intrinsically safe equipment such as but not limited to fluid level radar transmitters if the presence of flammable gas or vapor is detected.
