General-duty citation text
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish to each of his employees a place of employment which was 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 fire and thermal burns. The employer did not ensure that the doors of a furnace used by employees to load and unload the furnace are locked while operating at temperatures above 300 degrees Fahrenheit. This violation was observed on or about August 30, 2011, when the furnace in the X-ray building was unlocked while operating at a temperature of 1513 degrees Fahrenheit. Opening the doors before the furnace cools below 300 degrees Fahrenheit exposes the employees to the hazard of fire and thermal burns. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable means of abatement would be to follow the furnace manufacturer's instructions contained in Pollution Control Products Company's Controlled Pyrolysis Cleaning Furnace Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual which requires the doors on the furnace to be locked, and remain so, while the temperature of the furnace is above 300 degree Fahrenheit.
