Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
OSH ACT of 1970 Section (5)(a)(1): 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 not protected from crushing hazards while using a below-the-hook lifting device: On or about April 11, 2017, employees were exposed to struck-by and caught-between hazards while using the EM-12 Magnetool magnet. Two pieces of steel were being moved into a grinder with the EM-12 Magnetool magnet when the pieces fell off the magnet, resulting in a partial fingertip amputation. Among others, one feasible and acceptable method of abatement would be to ensure loads are centered on the magnet to allow for full lifting capacity of the magnet in use, and to follow the manufacturer's instructions to prevent air gaps between the magnet and the load. Additional means of abatement include following work practices of ANSI B30.20-2013 for Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices, including sections 20-3.4.4 and 20-3.5.
