Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 006B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.219(e)(3)(i): Vertical or inclined belt(s) were not enclosed by guard(s) conforming to the requirements specified at 29 CFR 1910.219(m) and (o): The employer is failing to protect employees from caught-in and amputation hazards associated with the unguarded inclined belt and pulley. This was most recently documented on or about July 3, 2019 at the Hatcher D-1 Well site of Merit Energy Company, located at Road 11 and Road L in Liberal, Kansas. a) On the West side of the Lufkin pumping unit, the guard next to the motor was missing, exposing to rotating belt and pulley, measured approximately 25.5 inches tall by 28 inches wide, which allowed access to the in-running inclined belts. b) On the East side of the Lufkin pumping unit, the guard installed over the belt and pulley did not completely cover the inclined belts. The guard had two openings, measured approximately 10 inches tall by 3 inches wide, which allowed access to the in-running inclined belts. 29 CFR 1903.19(c)(1) requires certification that the abatement of the above violation is complete.
