Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.212(a)(3)(ii):The point of operation of machines whose operation exposes an employee to injury, shall be guarded. The guarding device shall be in conformity with any appropriate standards therefor, or, in the absence of applicable specific standards, shall be so designed and constructed as to prevent the operator from having any part of his body in the danger zone during the operating cycle. Employees of Port City Bakery dba Alive & Kickin' Pizza Crust were exposed to machine hazards associated with the point of operation: a) on or about November 2, 2021, when the Line #4 Divider was not guarded to prevent access through the end tunnels of the Divider. An employee reached into the end of the Divider to remove excess dough that was leaking onto the conveyor below and their finger was caught in a self-closing aperture resulting in an amputation. b) on or about November 9, 2021, when the Line #5 Divider was not guarded to prevent access through the end tunnels of the Divider and exposed employees to potential caught-in hazards.
