Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: UNAPEQUIP
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: 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 the hazard of being caught in rotating parts of an electric pipe threader: a) Warehouse area. On or about 6/27/01, the electric pipe threader was activated with a manually operated REVERSE/OFF/FORWARD switch which would not automatically cause the machine to shut off in the event an employee got caught in rotating parts. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to install a constant pressure control switch as required by the American National Standards Institute B208.1 Section 4.4.
