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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

General-duty citation text

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  hazards of being  struck by fragments of Polyvinyl
Chloride (PVC) plastic
pipe in the event that the PVC plastic pipe ruptured:
a)3015 Lakewood Drive, Phenix City, AL 36867; On or about March 3, 2011 and
at times prior thereto the employer exposed his employees to the hazard of
being
struck by fragments of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) plastic pipe in the event
that the
PVC plastic pipe ruptured.  PVC plastic piping was used in exposed above
ground locations in the Shop Areas to transport compressed air at 115 psi.
Among other methods, two feasible and acceptable abatement methods to
correct this
hazard are #1) Replace PVC piping and fittings with metal piping and
fittings, which are
rated to transport compressed air in exposed above ground locations and
#2) Replace
PVC piping and fittings with Acrylonitrile-Butadiene Styrene (ABS) pipes
and fittings,
which are shatter resistant and manufactured for above ground use of
compressed air.
The prohibited use of PVC is referenced in ASME Gas Transmission and
Distribution
Piping Systems USAS B31.8-1986, Section 842.43, which prohibits the above
ground use
of PVC pipe for compressed air conveyance.
