Guards shall be affixed to the machine where possible and secured elsewhere if for any reason attachment to the machine is not possible. The guard shall be such that it does not offer an accident hazard in itself. On or about July 13, 2020, the employer failed to ensure that the guard installed on the Galllard Henning Nopak baler was free from damage that could cause injury to employees. Employees were exposed to laceration injuries from the sharp, damaged edges of the guard while removing aluminum bales from the equipment. Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d)
