Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.219(d)(1):Guarding. Pulleys, any parts of which are seven (7) feet or less from the floor or working platform, shall be guarded in accordance with the standards specified in paragraphs (m) and (o) of this section. Pulleys serving as balance wheels (e.g., punch presses) on which the point of contact between belt and pulley is more than six feet six inches (6 ft. 6 in.) from the floor or platform may be guarded with a disk covering the spokes. On or about October 26, 2022, employees working near the Pratt and Whitney manufactured 4 1/2 thread miller Model C were exposed to caught-in and amputation hazards from the rotating power transmission belt and pully hazards on the machine. The guard for the belt and pulley was neither affixed to the machine, nor did it adequately cover the belt and pulley to prevent employees' hands from entering the danger zone. Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
