Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1928.57(b)(2)(i): The mesh or nip-points of all power driven gears, belts, chains, sheaves, pulleys, sprockets, and idlers were not guarded: (a)National Food Corporation at 25351 National Avenue, Plankinton, SD 57368: On or about and at times prior to June 1, 2020, the employer did not ensure that a sprocket and chain assembly was properly enclosed. The sprocket and chain mechanism drives a waste removal conveyor which was located below each row of layer cages. The steel guards in place are inadequate and allow for employee contact with ingoing nip points. This condition exposes the employees to amputation hazard related to an ingoing nip point created by the unguarded sprocket and chain assembly.
