Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 007B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.215(b)(9): Guard for abrasive wheel machine where the operator stands in front of the machine was not constructed so that the peripheral protecting member could be adjusted to the constantly decreasing diameter of the wheel. The employer does not ensure that the tongue guards on bench grinders are adjusted with a maximum opening of one-fourth inch. This violation was observed on or about July 01, 2014 at the Quench and Temp area in the maintenance shop where employees were exposed to struck-by hazards when operating a bench grinder without tongue. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the date of this citation, the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps that it is taking to ensure that all bench grinders are equipped with tongue guards and that they are properly adjusted to the grinding wheel with a maximum opening of 1/4th inch.
