Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.212(a)(1): One or more methods of machine guarding was not 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: a) JBS Foods, Inc., 800 N. 8th Ave, Greeley, CO 80631: On or before February 18, 2021, the employer did not guard the LR8C incline conveyor belt above entrance into the PTC3 workstation and power 90 area to protect employees from contacting the unguarded bottom (return) side of the conveyor. Employees entered and exited the PTC3 work station and power 90 area at different heights to avoid coming into contact with the ingoing nip points on the moving conveyor belt. This condition exposed employees to scalping caught-in and amputation hazards.
