General-duty citation text

Nevada Revised Statute 618.375(1): Duties of employers. Every employer
shall furnish
employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized
hazards that are causing
or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees.
The establishment's place of employment was not free from a recognized
serious hazard:
a. PVC pipe was used in the production area to transport compressed air in
above
ground/unprotected installations to provide pnuematic air pressure to
various tools
and equipment. Employees were exposed to possible serious injuries or
permanent
disability (such as lacerations or impalement from plastic shrapnel), or
death,
from hazards associated with the potential explosive rupture of the PVC
pipe used
to channel compressed air.
REFERENCE: The hazards involved with the use of polyvinyl chloride pipe for
the flow of compressed air have been addressed in the OSHA Hazard
Information
Bulletin, dated May 20, 1988.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct
this hazard is to encase the PVC pipe in conduit or shatter-resistant
material or
replace with metal (copper or steel) pipe.)
