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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Labor and Employment Article, Section 5-104(a): The employer did not
furnish employment and
place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were
causing or likely to
cause death or serious physical harm to employees:
(a)Date of Violation:01/07/11
Location:Crystal Drying Room
Equipment:Shop-built Burner with Baldor Industrial Motor, Serial #12-93,
Spec. #33-
850-932
Condition:A natural gas fired burner was not equipped with an automatic
safety
valve to shut off the flow of gas to prevent an explosion in the event of
a loss of flame. The burner was not secured to nor supported by a
substantial base, and was unprotected from physical damage, such as
being struck by an industrial truck. The flame of the burner, which was
approximately 18 inches in length, an approximately 50 inches above
the floor, was not sufficiently guarded to prevent accidental contact
with the flame.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct
this hazard
is to modify the burner to meet mationally ecognized standard for the
design and installation
of gas fired burner, National Fire Protection Association Standard 86A,
1969 Ed., Standard
for Oven and Furnaces Design, Location and Equipment.
Abatement documentation (photographs, receipts, copies of programs,
training
certification, etc.) is required for this item
