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 therefore, 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. a. Press Brake Area - On or about March 21, 2013, employees were required to operate the Accupress and Edward Pearson hydraulic press brakes on a daily basis. The employer failed to provide guarding for the Accupress and Edward Pearson press brakes. Employees were thereby exposed to the hazards associated with unguarded points of operation during the operating cycles.
