Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.215(a)(4): Work rests. On offhand grinding machines, work rests shall be used to support the work. They shall be of rigid construction and designed to be adjustable to compensate for wheel wear. Work rests shall be kept adjusted closely to the wheel with a maximum opening of one-eighth inch to prevent the work from being jammed between the wheel and the rest, which may cause wheel breakage. The work rest shall be securely clamped after each adjustment. The adjustment shall not be made with the wheel in motion. (a) Bass Pro Shops at 7970 Northfield Blvd in Denver, CO: On and preceding, 10/08/14, the employer did not ensure the workrest on the Delta "Shop Master" bench grinder was adjusted to the maximum opening of one-eighth inch in that the measured opening was approximately one-half inch. This condition exposed employees to struck-by and abrasion hazards.
