Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.28(b)(6)(ii)(A): Employees 4 feet (1.2m) or more above dangerous equipment were not protected from falling by: (A) a Guardrail system. The employer is failing to protect employees from fall hazards while moving, aligning, and adjusting logs. This was most recently documented on or about April 12, 2018, at American Walnut Company, LLC, located at 2801 South 2nd Street, Saint Joseph, Missouri. The employer did not provide a guardrail system for a hole measuring approximately 29 inches long, by 24 inches wide and more than 6 feet deep. The hole is located adjacent to the chain conveyor at the Log Deck inside the Circle Mill. Inside this hole is a log lift and another moving chain conveyor that moves log debris to other parts of the facility.
