Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.212(a)(1): One or more methods of machine guarding shall be 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. Examples of guarding methods are-barrier guards, two-hand tripping devices, electronic safety devices, etc. On or about July 10, 2023, the employer did not provide one or more methods of machine guarding to protect employees working along the CS-1 line. Employees were exposed to caught-in nip point hazards due to the gaps present in the slatted conveyor belt, which could result in injuries such as abrasions, lacerations, crushing or amputation injuries. Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
