Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 005 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.219(f)(3):Sprockets and chains. All sprocket wheels and chains shall be enclosed unless they are more than seven (7) feet above the floor or platform. Where the drive extends over other machine or working areas, protection against falling shall be provided. This subparagraph does not apply to manually operated sprockets. a. On or before May 4, 2022, the employer failed to ensure employees were protected from the exposed chain and sprockets of the conveyor system of line 1. The chain and sprocket drive system for the conveyor on Line 1 was unguarded, thereby exposing employees to a caught-in hazard. b. On or before May 4, 2022, the employer failed to ensure employees were protected from the exposed chain and sprockets of the winding machine. The chain and sprocket for the drive system of the winder was not guarded, thereby exposing employees to a caught-in hazard.
