What's a 5(a)(1) citation? Slap on the hand with a piece of plastic
pipe? $100,000 fine and the shop doors are padlocked until the pipe is
replaced?

It is not difficult to find cases of actual injuries caused by shattered
PVC pipe.

It isn't difficult to find cases of actual injuries caused by
screwdrivers.

Note that there are certain plastic pipe materials specifically
approved for use with compressed air. Some of them may even contain PVC.
But common PVC plumbing pipe is not one of those.

Can you tell me what those approved pipes are, and where to find them?
