OSH ACT of 1970 Section (5)(a)(1): Respondent (a) did not ground the ductwork for the Pangborn dust collection system to prevent any static electricity generated by the movement of phenol-formaldehyde resin dust over the metal ducts from becoming a potential ignition source; (b) did not ground the Pangborn dust collector itself to prevent the generation of static electricity from becoming a potential ignition source; (c) did not control sparks generated by the metal chucks of the lathe from striking the metal clamps that secured the phenol-formaldehyde resin balls during shaping, which could travel into the Pangborn dust collection system and ignite the dust; (d) ductwork for the Pangborn dust collection system had 90 degree angle bends where phenol-formaldehyde dust could accumulate and potentially ignite; (e) supported the ducting next to the dust collector with bricks loosely stacked, resulting in breaks in the ductwork, leading to the potential release of phenol-formaldehyde resin dust; and (f) did not provide explosion relief venting for the Pangborn dust collection system to prevent a fire in the collector from traveling back into the building through the duct work. |

The faceplate is required to be present on the vessel as required under such as, but not limited to API 620-2008, "Design and Construction of Large, Welded, Low-Pressure Storage Tanks, section 1.1. (b) On or about October 3, 2014, at the facility, kettle #3 and kettle #4 was designed and built as a pressure vessel by the manufacturer. They were modified after manufacturing and hydrostatic testing to operate under vacuum pressure in this production process. The employer did not subject the vessels to pressure and vacuum testing after this alteration as required under such as, but not limited to API 572-2009, "Inspection Practices for Pressure Vessels," section 9.7.2. (c) On or about October 3, 2014, at the facility, for employees manufacturing phenol-formaldehyde resins and casting resin into custom sized balls. The steam and vacuum piping including valves throughout the processing equipment were not labeled as to their identity and the direction of flow using the requirements outlined in such as, but not limited to ASME A13.1-2007, "Scheme for the Identification of Piping Systems". (d) On or about October 3, at this facility, for employees manufacturing phenol-formaldehyde resins and casting resin into custom sized balls. Kettles #3 and #4 were not equipped with safe valves to relieve pressure, if over pressurization occurred in these low pressure reactors during this exothermic reaction.
