Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.132(a): Protective equipment was not used when necessary whenever hazards capable of causing injury and impairment were encountered: Production Area: When wet-grinding and cutting on granite and manufactured quartz stone counters, an employee wore eye protection that was inadequate to prevent eye injuries. The equipment consisted of regular, eyeglass-type eyewear with openings above the eyes and open sides. This type of eyewear would allow stone debris and sparks to go through these openings and strike the worker's eyes.
