Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.28(b)(6)(i): Each employee less than 4 feet (1.2 m) above dangerous equipment was not protected from falling into or onto the dangerous equipment by a guardrail system or a travel restraint system, unless the equipment is covered or guarded to eliminate the hazard: On or about August 8th, 2019, in the Hydron Department, employees were not protected from falling into a kettle that was filled with a molten lead alloy while a mixing shaft was operating within the kettle. The kettle opening was not guarded through the use of a cover, guardrail system, or travel restraint system, thereby exposing employees to thermal and rotating machinery hazards.
