Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.212(a)(1): Types of guarding. One or more methods of machine guarding shall be 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 or about 24 July 2017, the employer failed to provide machine guarding to protect operator(s) and other employees from hazard(s) created by all production equipment to include the following machines: a. Machine #98 & #102 Williams & White Bar Shear. The machine did not have a guard on the side of the machine that completely guarded the shearing action of the machine. This allowed the employees to gain access during the operation of the machine. b. Machine #101 Clearing Cold Work Press. The side of the machine did not have guarding to prevent employees from gaining access to the machine while it was in operation. c. Machine #200 Clearing Hot Work Press. The guarding on the side of the machine was pulled back to allow employees to place larger parts into the machine. The guarding was not adjusted properly to allow larger pieces of product. d. Machine #98 Warco Hot Work Press. The side of the machine did not have any kind of guarding to prevent employees from gaining access to the moving parts of the machine. e. Machine #114 Blow Hot Press. The machine did not have any form of guarding on the rear of the machine. Employees pass behind the machine and the lack of guarding allows the employees to gain access during the operation of the machine. Behind the machine is a walk way where employees pass by throughout the day. f. The Johnson Press near the Verson Press #110 did not have guarding in the front of the machine where employees would load/unload parts. Employees used a foot pedal to control presses. g. The Warco Press near the Verson Press #110 did not have guarding in the front of the machine where employees would load/unload parts. Employees used a foot pedal to control presses. This exposes employees to caught-in, and struck by hazards. Abatement documentation is required in accordance with the 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
