Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to: Hazard of being struck by feeder trays. (a)Cutting Department, Bobst 1260E sheepfed die cutter - The feeder tray had been modified and the frame was not engineered for aluminum slats. The aluminum slats have caused the guiderollers to wear down causing the feeder tray to jump track and not stay attached to the machine. The feeder trays were designed by the manufacturer for wooden slats. One feasible and acceptable abatement method would be to have the manufacturer to replace the aluminum slats with the original wooden slats. (b)Cutting Department, Bobst SA 102 BMA - The stamping chase can fall out because the latches do not catch on one end when the stamping chase is turned over. On feasible and acceptable abatement method would be to have the manufacturer replace the latches so the stamping chase can not flip out and hit employees when they are turning the chase over.
