environment:
a)facility - where the employer did not develop a heat stress management
program for employees
who were exposed to a heat index of 106 degrees Fahrenheit, to help them
recognize
and avoid
heat stress related illnesses; and hazards associated with working in a
hot environment.
One feasible and acceptable abatement method, among others, to correct

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.

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 methods were not utilized to
contain combustible wood dusts created by manufacturing, handling, and
processing operations from becoming
airborne and combining with an ignition source:
a)facility, production - where the employer did not ensure the
minimization of dust clouds by
allowing employees to use compressed air rated at 84 p.s.i. to clean flat
surfaces and
equipment.
ABATEMENT NOTE:  The use of compressed air shall be permitted only where
the following requirements
are met:
1)Area and equipment shall be vacuumed approved for a Class II, Division
I, Group G in accordance with
Article 502, NFPA 70, National Electric Code prior to blow down.
2)Electrical equipment not suitable for Class II locations and other
sources of ignition shall be shut down
allowed to cool or removed from the area.
3)Only low-pressure steam or compressed air, not exceeding a gauge
pressure of 15 p.s.i. shall be used.
4)No hot surfaces or flames capable of igniting a dust cloud or layer
shall exist in the area.
