Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard: CRUSHING

5(a)(1): Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: the employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees. Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: On and before March 02, 2006 the employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees, in that employees were exposed to crushing and impact hazards caused by the unexpected ejection of a work part in the process of being machined, from the Dainichi horizontal CNC turning machine, company No. WC289, located in Bay 3 of Plant 1. The turning machine would run in automatic mode of operation without monitoring the workholding device actuating force, allowing the turning machine to run without a part properly clamped and/or gripped. One feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard would be to comply with ANSI B11.22-2002 Safety Requirements for Turning Centers and Automatic, Numerically Controlled Turning Machines, sub-clause 6.17.2 Power operated workholding device. Ensure a program will not run in the automatic mode of operation unless the workholding device actuating force is monitored (e.g., by monitoring the hydraulic pressure of power operated workholding devices). If the required actuating force is not reached or the necessary remaining stroke is insufficient it shall not be possible to start the workholding spindle drive.e
