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; On or about March 29, 2019 the employer failed to ensure that effective machine guarding was in place on the private label swab machines used in the facility. The access doors to the cotton swab stick hopper were able to be opened by employees during operation. This exposes employees to the pinch point of the hopper feed wheel.
