North Carolina General Statute 95-129(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of North Carolina: The employer did not furnish each of his employees conditions of employment and a place of employment 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 fire and explosion because the air material separator (dust collector) was not being maintained and operated in a manner that minimizes the escape of dust: a)facility, production - throughout the facility the dust collection system ducts had separated and in some cases were wrapped with plastic wrap and duct tape to hold the ducts together resulting in decreased airflow at the collection point allowing for dust to escape into the facility from equipment, such as, but not limited to, Mattison Lathes #2,#3 and #8, Diehl, D-4 Moulder, Nash Sander and belt sander/buffer for finials. ABATEMENT NOTE: 1)Have the dust collection system repaired to original design to minimize the escape of dust and meet the protection, venting and size requirements listed in paragraph 7.2.3.2.2 and 8.2.1.1 of NFPA 654.
