Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.215(a)(4):Work rests. On offhand grinding machines, work rests shall be used to support the work. They shall be of rigid construction and designed to be adjustable to compensate for wheel wear. Work rests shall be kept adjusted closely to the wheel with a maximum opening of one-eighth inch to prevent the work from being jammed between the wheel and the rest, which may cause wheel breakage. The work rest shall be securely clamped after each adjustment. The adjustment shall not be made with the wheel in motion. On or about August 10, 2020, a bench grinder located in the fabrication shop was observed with tool rest opening to the wheel periphery opening of approximately one inch and one eighth. This condition exposed employees to struck by hazards.
