    Citation 2 Item 2 Type of Violation: Willful

    Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish employment anda place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death orserious physical harm in that the method used to clean the 561 main fuel gas line pipes - blowing natural gasthrough them at high velocity - was not implemented in such a way as to protect employees from the hazard of anexplosion caused by venting large amounts of natural gas into areas where it could accumulate and where, or inclose proximity to where, ignition sources existed. The following conditions and practices contributed to the

    existence of this hazard: the vent pipe configured close to and below scaffolding, in close proximity to the PowerGeneration Building, in between two approximately 115 foot tall Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSGs) andwell below the tops of all of those structures; the failure to eliminate open flame ignition sources, including but notlimited to propane heaters; construction work occurring during the gas blow process; individuals other than thoseessential to conducting the gas blows working in the area during the gas blow process; and the inability to readilycontrol the amount of gas and pressure flowing through the main gas fuel line.

    On February 7, 2010, employees were exposed to serious or fatal impact and other injuries from an explosionhazard created when a large amount of natural gas was blown at high velocity through CT#1 Main Knockout DrumVent Pipe (561-TNK-1002) into the area between the two HRSGs and close to buildings, scaffolding, partiallyenclosed work areas, and other structures that were adjacent to the Power Generation Building in which employees

    worked and in or around which open flame ignition sources, including but not limited to propane heaters, existed,construction work was occurring, and numerous employees non-essential to conducting the gas blow were working.

    When natural gas is chosen for this method of cleaning gas line pipes, feasible means of abatement to eliminate ormaterially reduce the hazard are to ensure that the vent pipe is positioned vertically and above the PowerGeneration Building and all other nearby structures, or horizontally to a location away from structures that couldinhibit the adequate dispersal of the gas; ensure that any and all ignition sources are eliminated; ensure that any andall construction activity ceases during the gas blow process; ensure that all workers other than those essential toconducting the gas blows are removed from the building and area around which the gas blows are occurring; andensure the use of devices to control the amount and pressure of gas vented, such as a fast closing pipe shut-off valveand a gas pressure control valve.

    Citation 2 Item 3 Type of Violation: Willful

    Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish employment anda place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death orserious physical harm in that the method used to clean the 561 main fuel gas line pipes - blowing natural gasthrough them at high velocity - was not implemented in such a way as to protect employees from the hazard of anexplosion caused by venting large amounts of natural gas into areas where it could accumulate and where, or inclose proximity to where, ignition sources existed. The following conditions and practices contributed to the

    existence of this hazard: the vent pipe configured close to and below scaffolding, in close proximity to the PowerGeneration Building, in the area immediately east of the two approximately 115 foot tall Heat Recovery SteamGenerators (HRSGs) and well below the tops of all of those structures; the failure to eliminate open flame ignitionsources, including but not limited to propane heaters; construction work occurring during the gas blow process;individuals other than those essential to conducting the gas blows working in the area during the gas blow process;and the inability to readily control the amount of gas and pressure flowing through the main gas fuel line.

    On February 7, 2010, employees were exposed to serious or fatal impact and other injuries from an explosionhazard created when a large amount of natural gas was blown at high velocity through CT#2 Main Knockout DrumVent Pipe (561-TNK-2002) into the area immediately east of HRSG number 2 and close to buildings, scaffolding,partially enclosed work areas, and other structures that were adjacent to the Power Generation Building in which

    employees worked and in or around in which open flame ignition sources, including but not limited to propaneheaters, existed, construction work was occurring, and numerous employees non-essential to conducting the gasblow were working.

    When natural gas is chosen for this method of cleaning gas line pipes, feasible means of abatement to eliminate ormaterially reduce the hazard are to ensure that the vent pipe is positioned vertically and above the PowerGeneration Building and all other nearby structures, or horizontally to a location away from structures that couldinhibit the adequate dispersal of the gas; ensure that any and all ignition sources are eliminated; ensure that any andall construction activity ceases during the gas blow process; ensure that all workers other than those essential toconducting the gas blows are removed from the building and area around which the gas blows are occurring; andensure the use of devices to control the amount and pressure of gas vented, such as a fast closing pipe shut-off valve

    and a gas pressure control valve.
