Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 005 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.215(a)(4): Work rest(s) on grinding machinery were not adjusted closely to the wheel with a maximum opening of one eighth inch: (a)Colorado Rubber Supply at 4725 Leyden St. Unit A, Denver, CO 80216: On and before 1/30/14, the employer did not ensure that employees were properly using a bench grinder (Ohio Forge, model # MDD-205, Serial # 01675) with a work rest area distance of no greater than 1/8" from the grinding wheel. The distance between the work rest and wheel was measured to be 11/16 of an inch at the time of the inspection. Employees use the bench grinder to sharpen belt slitter blades. This condition exposed employees to the hazard of being struck-by parts of the wheel in the event of a grinding wheel failure.
