Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.212(a)(1): Types of guarding. 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 31 January 2019, the employer failed to provide adequate machine guarding to protect operator(s) and other employees from caught-in, pinch point, and struck-by hazard(s) while operating or working near all production equipment to include the Universal Press. The Universal Press has machine guarding hazards in the following areas: a. The Cutters- No guarding was provided to prevent the operator or other employees from inadvertently contacting the rotating cutting parts of the machine during the operating cycle. This exposed employees to a caught-on hazard. b. The Powered Feed Rollers- The employer did not provide adequate guarding to protect employees against inadvertent contact with the powered feed rollers. This exposed employees to pinch points and caught-in hazards. Abatement documentation is not required for this item.
