Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 005 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.219(f)(3): Sprocket wheels and chains which were seven 7 feet or less above floors or platforms were not enclosed: a) JBS USA, LLC at 800 North 8th Avenue, Greeley, CO 80631: On or about December 4, 2012, the employer did not ensure that the sprocket wheel and chain for the bonemeal dryer in the rendering area was enclosed. The sprocket wheel, which was about 5 feet in diameter, and chain rotated down to within 22 inches of the floor, and was within 2 feet from the walkway alongside the dryer. Although a partial shield was in place to prevent employees from brushing against the sprocket wheel and chain as they walked by, the shield did not enclose the moving parts and did not prevent employees from reaching in while the dryer was in operation. Condition exposed employees to amputation hazards.
