Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.212(a)(1): One or more methods of machine guarding was not provided to protect the operator and other employees in the machine area from hazards such as those created by point of operation, ingoing nip points, rotating parts, flying chips and sparks. On the Collection Level, guardrails were removed when the line was down, potentially exposing employees to hazards. Employees also opened doors/panels to clean and remove product that had accumulated during operation. Equipment was stopped but not locked out while using designated tools to perform routine cleaning. Additional machine guarding methods were not in place to prevent employees from being potentially exposed to moving rollers, conveyers, shafts and other moving parts.
