What this inspection record means

OSHA opens inspections for many reasons — routine scheduling under a national or local emphasis program, an employee complaint or referral, or a follow-up after a reported injury. Opening or conducting an inspection is not itself an allegation or a finding that this employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

the inside of the
quench tower, and exposed employees to fire, deflagration and explosion
hazards.
Among other methods, a feasible and acceptable method(s) to correct this
hazard

solids or hybrid
mixtures, regardless of concentration or particle size, where the
materials present a fire or
explosion hazard; NFPA 655, Standard for Prevention of Sulfur Fire and
Explosions, 2007
edition which establishes requirements to eliminate or reduce hazards of
explosion and fire
inherent in the processing and handling of sulfur; and/or NFPA 77,
Recommended Practice
on Static Electricity, 2007 edition which establishes recommended
practices to identify,
assess, and control static electricity for the purpose of preventing fires
and explosions.
Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the
abatement date, the
employer must submit an abatement plan describing the actions it is taking
