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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Hazardous substances E200

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 the hazard of potential fires and explosions
from the lack of a
Blowdown Safety Program:
(a) In the Little Saw Mill Building, compressed air was used to blow
combustible wood dust
off of the End Trimmer Saw, and the floor surrounding it, roughly hourly,
while potential
ignition sources such as the nearby standard motor and wall fan, lighting,
equipment, etc.
were not eliminated;
(b) In the Big Saw Mill Building, compressed air was used roughly every
other day to blow
off saws, equipment and floors without eliminating all potential ignition
sources, such as
standard lighting, wiring, outlets, motors, saws and fork lift trucks
throughout
the Big Saw
Mill Building.
Feasible abatement methods, as discussed in sections 11.2.1.1 and 11.2.1.2
of NFPA 664,
would include, but not necessarily be limited to: (1) Using approved
vacuums instead of
compressed air to remove combustible wood dust from exposed surfaces
within the buildings
at this worksite; (2) Using compressed air under a low pressure (less than
or equal to 15 psi)
only after all potential ignition sources have been eliminated (such as by
locking out all
electric energy to the building inside which the blow down will occur);
and/or (3) Installing
additional local exhaust ventilation systems in order to capture wood dust
at all points where
it has a tendency to become airborne, (thereby eliminating the need to
perform any
blowdowns) and transporting it to a remote bag house containing no
workers.
