Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.212(a)(2): Guard(s) on machine(s) were not affixed to the machine or secured elsewhere when attachment to the machine was not possible: a. On or about October 29, 2022, in room MP15, the employer did not ensure all guards on the Tetra Pak Ice Cream Choice Filler A1, Serial Number Z5201420, were adequately secured to the machine. The method of securing non-interlocked guarding along the bottom of the machine allowed the guards to be easy defeated as the hex style bolts used were untightened and capable of being removed by hand. Guarding secured in this manner allowed access to the danger zone and exposed affected employees to struck-by and crushing hazards.
