Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.132(d)(1)(i): When the employer had assessed the workplace hazard(s) and determined that hazard(s) were present, the employer did not select and/or use the types of personal protective equipment that would protect the affected employees: (a) On and at times before July 19, 2016, at the facility located at 707 W HWY 60, Monett. MO., employees were exposed to serious injuries, in that the employer had not selected and enforced the use of necessary personal protective equipment needed to protect the hands and fingers of affected employees handling sharp metal materials and or machinery/equipment. As a result employees have received numerous recordable injuries involving cuts, lacerations, and a recent thumb amputation. These incidents could have been prevented if proper hand protection was being provided and used during the tasks involved.
