Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.213(c)(2): The employer did not ensure that each hand-fed circular ripsaw was furnished with a spreader to prevent material from squeezing the saw or being thrown back on the operator. The spreader shall be made of hard tempered steel, or its equivalent, and shall be thinner than the saw kerf. It shall be of sufficient width to provide adequate stiffness or rigidity to resist any reasonable side thrust or blow tending to bend or throw it out of position. The spreader shall be attached so that it will remain in true alignment with the saw even when either the saw or table is tilted. The provision of a spreader in connection with grooving, dadoing, or rabbeting is not required. On the completion of such operations, the spreader shall be immediately replaced. This violation occurred on or about March 12, 2018, when an employee was allowed to operate a table saw that was not furnished with a spreader to prevent materials from being thrown back on the employee. The employee was exposed to amputation hazards.
