Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.212(a)(3)(iii): Special handtools for placing and removing material shall be such as to permit easy handling of material without the operator placing a hand in the danger zone. Such tools shall not be in lieu of other guarding required by this section, but can only be used to supplement protection provided. Semi-metallic, hot press #1: on or about October 17, 2018, operators assigned to remove individual hot brake shoes from the die box's insert were not provided with adequately designed and constructed handtools to permit safe removal. Used scraper was not long enough to ensure safe distance between the operator's hand and up/down moving insert when loosening the brake shoe for removal. The scraper could fall into the die box openings created during the up/down movements and pull the operator's gloved fingers down and towards a pinch point because of the scraper's curved end as evidenced by the amputation injury accident. Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
