Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 008 Hazard: GUARDING
Title 40.1 - 51.1.(a), Code of Virginia: Delta Star failed to furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that: (a) The Delta radial arm saw located in the shipping/receiving department was not guarded against side contact. The saw also extended past the edge of the table and did not return gently to its starting position. Reference: 1910.213(h). "One feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard would be to install a guard which would automatically adjust to the thickness of the stock being cut and protect against side contact with the blade, install a return device on the saw, and extend the table so the saw would not extend past the edge of the table."
