Penalty
Initial $4200.00 · Current $903.00 Reduced
P.L. 91-596 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 severe burns from the potential dust explosion,
deflagration and fire
hazard(s): caused by the improper design and maintenance of dust
collection system:
a)Cabinet Assembly Area, on or about February 2, 2011, PVC piping or
plastic
vent tubing was used to connect sections of duct work to wood working
equipment, exposing employees fire and explosion hazards.
b) Cabinet Assembly Area, on or about February 2, 2011, wood working
equipment
such as, but not limited to, radial arm saws, table saws, sander and
cut-off saw
connected to the ventilation system ductwork did not have a type of
protection
installed to prevent deflagration, propagation of wood dust explosion from
traveling between the different equipment connected to the ventilation
ductwork
ABATEMENT CERTIFICATION AND VERIFICATION IS REQUIRED
Among other methods, a feasible abatement method to correct this hazard is
all duct
work shall be constructed of metal and be bonded and grounded from the
equipment to
the dust collector. Balance the dust collection systems so that wood dust
is captured
completely. Install a deflagration vent on the duct work to the outside
from the dust
collection pipes to reduce or eliminate any flame front from advancing.
Perform
inspections of the dust collection systems and protect enclosureless dust
collection
systems with spark detectors.
NFPA 664, Prevention of Fires and Explosions in Wood Processing and
Woodworking
Facilities, 2007 2.2.1.1 states, "Nonconductive ducts such as PVC pipes
shall not be permitted.
NFPA 664, Prevention of Fires and Explosions in Wood Processing and
Woodworking
Facilities, 2007 B.6, Deflagration Isolation: Interconnections between
separate pieces of
equipment present a special hazard, where such interconnection are
necessary, deflagration
isolation devices should be considered, or interconnections should be
vented.
Annex D Conveying System Isolation D.1-1 Prevent explosions from
propagating back into the
production building through the pneumatic conveying duct using a backblast
damper and D.1-3
Minimize the chance of conveying burning material into the bag filter dust
collector using a
high-speed abort gate.
