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 exposed to an in-going nip point on a trim line conveyor: (a)New Angus, LLC dba DemKota Ranch Beef at 13 135th Street South West, Aberdeen, SD 57401: On or about and at times prior to April 4, 2018, the employer did not ensure that employees were protected from the ingoing nip point related to a conveyor on the trim line. The conveyer belt was sagging approximately five inches which exposed an in-going nip point where the belt met the pulley of the conveyor which was in close proximity where employees work. This condition exposed employees to the hazard of caught-in by the conveyer roller. Abatement Note: Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to follow American Society of Mechanical Engineers ASME B20.1-2012 Safety Standard for Conveyors and Related Equipment, paragraph 6.1 Belt Conveyors: Fixed in Place, 6.1.1 Safety Considerations (a) Nip point and shear points shall be guarded.
