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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

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 in that
employees were exposed to fire
and/or explosion hazards due to their use of an indoor, enclosureless wood
dust
collector to
collect combustible metal dusts:
A.Employees buffing and grinding metal parts which produced combustible
metal dusts,
including but not limited to aluminum dust, used an enclosureless wood
dust collector
(Grizzly Industrial Inc. Model G1029) which was not designed to collect
combustible
metal dusts, which was located indoors, and which recycled air back into
the work area.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct these
hazards is to use an appropriate type dust collector installed outside the
building and
ensure that recycling air into the building is prohibited as set forth in
Chapter 6.3.6 of
the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 484, Standard for
Combustible Metals.
B.Employees buffing and grinding metal parts which produced combustible
metal
dusts,
including but not limited to aluminum dust, used an enclosureless wood
dust collector
(Grizzly Industrial Inc. Model G1029) which was not designed to collect
combustible
metal dusts, which had ungrounded flexible plastic ducts, and which failed
to collect and
transport all the dust from the operations it served.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct the
hazard is to install ducts constructed of conductive material and
fabricated and assembled
with smooth interior surfaces and with internal lap joints facing the
direction of airflow,
which would not allow accumulations of dust as set forth in Chapter 6.3.3
of the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 484, Standard for Combustible
Metals.
C.Employees buffing and grinding metal parts which produced combustible
metal dusts -
including dust from aluminum, nickel alloy, cobalt, and stainless steel -
used a single
enclosureless wood dust collector (Grizzly Industrial Inc. Model G1029),
which was not
designed to collect combustible metal dusts, and the employer failed both
to dedicate a
single collector to aluminum/aluminum alloy dust only and to clean the
dust from this dry
collector daily.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct these
hazards is to ensure that a separate dedicated dust collection system is
used when
capturing aluminum dust and that the dust is removed at least once each
day or more
frequently if conditions warrant in accordance with Chapters 6.3.2.6 and
6.3.5.5 as set
forth in Chapter 6.3.6 of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
484, Standard
for Combustible Metals.
