Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.213(e)(1): Each circular resaw shall be guarded by a hood or shield of metal above the saw. This hood or shield shall be so designed as to guard against danger from flying splinters or broken saw teeth: On 02 February 2018, the employer failed to properly guard machines in the production area to prevent employees from the point of operation while the machine was in operation: a. Dismantler Re-saws- The existing guarding for five such machines did not protect the employees from inadvertently contacting the saw blade during operation. The blades were exposed as the safety guard could not self-adjust to protect the employees operating the machine from amputation. b. Knotcher- The existing guarding did not prevent employees from inadvertently contacting the rotating blade during operation, therefore exposing them to an amputation hazard. Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
