Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.212(a)(3)(ii): Point(s) of operation of machinery were not guarded to prevent employee(s) from having any part of their body in the danger zone(s) during operating cycle(s): On or about August 16, 2016, the employer failed to ensure that effective machine guarding was in place on the Hayssen Supera bagging equipment (model number 12-16r coffeepac). The interlocked door on the bagging portion of the equipment did not fully extend to the floor to prevent employees from reaching under it. Employees routinely place their arms on the underside of the machine to remove material and product. This act exposes them to the point of operation where the sealing of the bag takes place.
