General-duty citation text
North Carolina General Statute 95-129(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of North Carolina: 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: a)1-bromopropane. The gluers in the glue department were spraying Spectrum Adhesives 6464 Soft Seam Adhesive in the manufacture of foam cushions for the furniture industry. The 6464 Soft Seam Adhesive contains 1-bromopropane. On 05/10/11, five of the Gluers were sampled for 1-bromopropane and were exposed to an 8 hour Time Weighted Average concentration of 62.67 ppm, 86.23 ppm, 67.49 ppm, 77.23 ppm, and 64.87 ppm, which are well above the US Environmental Protection Agency's proposed exposure limit of 25 ppm. Among others, one feasible and acceptable method of abating this violation is to revise the local exhaust ventilation system to improve the flow rate and the capture velocities. Another feasible and acceptable method of abating the violation is the substitution of the chemical with one that does not contain 1- Bromopropane.
