The photo depicts an accumulation of 37% formaldehyde solution on top of a 55 gallon drum with a failed gasket on the hand pump. The solution was used for porta-john servicing. |
Employees were exposed to a 37% formaldehyde solution due to a leaking gasket on the hand pump, which allowed the solution to accumulate on the top of the 55 gallon drum. Employees did not use appropriate personal protective equipment for clean-up and contaminated rags used to clean up the liquid were kept on top of an adjacent drum.

photo shows employee loading raw lead materials into the skip hoist of a blast furnace. The photo shows the dust that was being emitted during this operation. The employee driving the front end loader was exposed to lead in excess of the PEL.automatic casting opeation. Employees use a spade to skim the dross off the poured molds. The dross is scraped onto a chute that leads to an open 55 gal drum. Lead fume was emitted into the work ara from the cooling mold, the dross on the chute and the dross in the 55 gal drum until the material cooled enough to stop emitting fumes. The only ventilation in the area was a floor fan. The employees were exposed to lead in excess of the PEL |
