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: On or about July 14, 2020 the employer failed to ensure that effective machine guarding was on the inlet side of the Youngstown Plastic Tooling and Machinery take off machine (serial number 6-1933) located on line 5. Employees are able to reach the ingoing nip point of the rotating feeder line. The machine is equipped with a bump stop and relay mechanism, that when tripped immediately shuts the equipment down. This bump stop does not prohibit the employee from reaching into the hazard area.
