Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.212(a)(1): One or more methods of machine guarding was not provided to protect the operator and other employees in the machine area from hazards such as those created by point of operation, ingoing nip points, rotating parts, flying chips and sparks: a) Amherst Co-operative Elevator Inc. Located at 34661 CO Rd 53, Amherst, CO 80721: On and preceding 5/9/2018, the employer did not ensure that the main pulley which drives the cup belt for the bins was adequately guarded. The pulley presented a rotating part with protruding nuts/bolts that was not adequately guarded. The pulley also presented an ingoing nip point where the belt rotated around the pulley. The conveyor system was used to transport and distribute grain to the various grain bins. This condition exposed employees to amputation hazards caused by rotating parts and ingoing nip points.
