Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.28(b)(6)(i): The employer did not ensure that each employee greater than 4 feet (1.2 m) above dangerous equipment is protected from falling into or onto the dangerous equipment by a guardrail system or a travel restraint system, unless the equipment is covered or guarded to eliminate the hazard: A) MagReTech, LLC located at 301 County Road 177 in Bellevue, Ohio. On or about May 25, 2023, employees working within the melt room, specifically on the melt deck, were exposed to fall hazards near (4) furnaces used in the process of melting magnesium scrap. Employees were not protected from fall hazards while charging the furnaces. The furnaces contain molten magnesium with temperatures exceeding 1,000 degrees Celsius and are approximately 9 feet in depth. Failure to ensure employees are protected from fall hazards while charging the furnaces exposes employees to potential death and/or permeant dismemberment.
