Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 006 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: (b) Clear Creek Skiing Corporation located at 3877 US 6, Georgetown, CO 80444: On and preceding December 28, 2017, the employer did not ensure that one or more methods of machine guarding was provided to protect lift operators and lift maintenance personnel in the machine area from hazards such as those created by point of operation, ingoing nip points, rotating parts, flying chips and sparks. An electrically powered apparatus called a Snow Chute was used to pull snow from under the Mini Carpet Lift, and then move it out through the top through an opening measuring approximately 8"x14". Both lift operators and lift mechanics working in close proximity to the Snow Chute were exposed to amputation hazards from rotating parts.
