Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.213(h)(1): The upper hood shall completely enclose the upper portion of the blade down to a point that will include the end of the saw arbor. The upper hood shall be constructed in such a manner and of such material that it will protect the operator from flying splinters, broken saw teeth, etc., and will deflect sawdust away from the operator. The sides of the lower exposed portion of the blade shall be guarded to the full diameter of the blade by a device that will automatically adjust itself to the thickness of the stock and remain in contact with stock being cut to give maximum protection possible for the operation being performed. a) On or about March 8, 2023 in the Crating Area, the adjustable guard on the right side was not adjusted to protect employees performing crating who used The Original Saw Company Radial Arm Saw with a lower guard that exposed employees to the saw blade in that the guard on the right side did not automatically adjust to the thickness of the stock when cutting wood boards for crates, exposing employees to potential amputation hazards.
