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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 M102

eUnused ductwork located above bin 2, associated with material storage bin
connected
material conveyance systems, had been blanked, or "dead-legged" which
reduces airflow
efficiency and can allow combustible material to collect in the section of
unused duct.
Abatement note: Among other methods, feasible and acceptable methods to
correct this
hazard would be to comply with the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) 654
"Standard for the Prevention of Fire and Dust Explosions from the
Manufacturing,
Processing, and Handling of Combustible Particulate Solids (2006 edition)
and NFPA 69
"Standard on Explosion Prevention Systems" (2008 edition) as they apply to
your
operations and equipment: including, but not limited to, the following,
(1) design air
material separators (dust collectors) prevent both dust return and
transmission of fire
and/or explosion energy into the building (NFPA 654 section 6.1.3), (2)
install
explosion
protection systems  for pieces of equipment associated with molding
operation processes
(NFPA 654 section 7.1.2), (3) install isolation devices between pieces of
process
equipment connected by ductwork and from air-material separators upstream
to work
areas (NFPA 654 sections 7.1.4 and 7.1.5), (4) locate material storage
bins (bins 1-6)
outside the building (NFPA 654 section 7.2.3.2.1), (5) locate air-material
separatorsoutside the building or equip them with explosion venting or
other explosion protection
(NFPA 654 section 7.13.1.1.1 and 7.13.1.1.2), (6) provide for system
components to be
fabricated of conductive parts, or complete an engineering analysis
regarding electrostatic
ignition potential elimination (NFPA 654 section 9.3.1.1 and 9.3.1.2),
(7) provide air
filtration media with an efficiency of 99.9% at 10 microns for air
recycling and prevent
transmission of fire or explosion energy into the building (NFPA 654
section 6.1.3), and
(8) evaluate and implement an explosion prevention and control system
according
to one
or a combination of the methods found in NFPA 69.
