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) On or about November 15, 2024, the employer did not ensure that effective machine guarding was in place on the Weiler Omni Chipper. The top portion of the equipment exposes the employees to the rotation of the auger/ grinder apparatus. b) On or about November 22, 2024, the employer did not ensure that effective machine guarding was in place on the Biro mixer grinder. The top of the equipment contained too large of an opening allowing employees to reach the hazardous area of the moving auger within the confines of the structure itself.
