Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.215(a)(4): Work rests. On offhand grinding machines, work rests must be used to support the work. They must be of rigid construction and designed to be adjustable to compensate for wheel wear. Work rests must be kept adjusted closely to the wheel with a maximum opening of one-eighth inch to prevent the work from being jammed between the wheel and the rest, which may cause wheel breakage. The work rest must be securely clamped after each adjustment. The adjustment must not be made with the wheel in motion. (a) On February 26, 2015: Employees in Bay 3 were exposed to serious struck-by hazards associated with possible breakage of a pedestal grinder from an abrasive wheel. The work rest was not adjusted to 1/8th of an inch or less from the periphery of the wheel on both sides.
