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, employees were exposed to potential fire and explosion hazards caused by combustible dusts, including but not limited to titanium, being collected into an inadequately designed dust collection system: D Room: Two MBA Dust Collection Systems were inadequately designed for the material that had been collected: A. Two MBA downdraft dry dust collector tables were used to collect combustible dusts such as titanium. B. The MBA downdraft dry dust collector tables were used for collecting dust from titanium, Inconell 1106, stainless steel, and plastics without being thoroughly cleaned. C. The MBA downdraft dry dust collector tables and machines were not posted that they were for use with combustible metals and different types of metals were processed into the same dust collection system. Specific Abatement Documentation is Required Abatement Note: Potential ignition sources include sparks from grinding metals and static electricity from the lack of grounding or bonding. NFPA 484, Standard for Combustible Metals, Chapter 10 covers Machining, Fabrication and Finishing of Titanium Parts. Adherence to the following sections of the NFPA standard would ensure compliance: 10.4.4.4 If the titanium dust-collecting unit is to be used for other materials, it shall be thoroughly cleaned of all incompatible materials prior to and after use. 10.4.8.1 Electrostatic and media collectors shall not be used. 10.4.8.6 Dust shall be removed from the dry collectors at the end of each workday and at more frequent intervals if conditions warrant. 10.7.8 All electrical equipment and wiring in titanium production processing, handling, and storage facilities shall comply with NFPA 70, National Electric Code. 10.7.10 All metal objects or equipment used to process titanium shall be electrically bonded and grounded to prevent accumulations of static electricity.s
