Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 007 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.213(c)(1): Each circular hand-fed ripsaw shall be guarded by a hood which shall completely enclose that portion of the saw above the table and that portion of the saw above the material being cut. The hood and mounting shall be arranged so that the hood will automatically adjust itself to the thickness of and remain in contact with the material being cut but it shall not offer any considerable resistance to insertion of material to saw or to passage of the material being sawed. The hood shall be made of adequate strength to resist blows and strains incidental to reasonable operation, adjusting, and handling, and shall be so designed as to protect the operator from flying splinters and broken saw teeth. It shall be made of material that is soft enough so that it will be unlikely to cause tooth breakage. The hood shall be so mounted as to insure that its operation will be positive, reliable, and in true alignment with the saw; and the mounting shall be adequate in strength to resist any reasonable side thrust or other force tending to throw it out of line. a. On or about February 8, 2017, the employer failed to provide adequate guarding on the two Pendu Machines (rip saw, Serial #U3981108451, and the Junior Pendu-no visible serial # for other, building #2) where employees are exposed to the inside of the saw hood from both ends during the process of feeding in a 7 ft. long by 3 in. wide piece of rounded wood (peeler cord) and receiving out the same product that has been cut/ripped in half by the machine.
