Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.212(a)(1): One or more methods of machine guarding was not provided to protect the operator and other employees in the machine area from hazards such as those created by point of operation, ingoing nip points, rotating parts, flying chips and sparks: a) On or about October 6, 2015, the employer did not ensure that the screw machines were adequately guarded to prevent employees from accessing the rotating parts during operation and while loading bar stock. The screw machines were equipped with moveable barrier guards which had large openings due to broken Plexiglas or broken plastic sheeting and were not equipped with safety interlocks or other means to stop the machine when the door were opened. Employees were exposed to caught-in hazards from the moving equipment.
