Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: GUARDING
29 CFR 1960.8(a): The head of each agency did not furnish to each employee employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or were likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees: a.Building 2296, Facilities Maintenance Division located south west of Camp pendleton: The retractable guard for a 14 inch chop saw rated at 3800 RPM (S.N. 613579712-GS) was duct taped at the open position so that the guard would not lower and cover the front portion of the disc. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to follow the operator's manual which states that guards are to be kept in place and in working order.
