Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 008C Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.215(b)(9): Exposure adjustment. Safety guards of the types described in Subparagraphs (3) and (4) of this paragraph, where the operator stands in front of the opening, shall be constructed so that the peripheral protecting member can be adjusted to the constantly decreasing diameter of the wheel. The maximum angular exposure above the horizontal plane of the wheel spindle as specified in paragraphs (b)(3) and (4) of this section shall never be exceeded, and the distance between the wheel periphery and the adjustable tongue or the end of the peripheral member at the top shall never exceed one-fourth inch. (See Figures O-18, O-19, O-20, O-21, O-22, and O-23.) a. On or about November 6, 2014, located in the back of the fabrication shop, there was an Enco Bench grinder, model number 89035, serial number 0316 that did not have an adjustable tongue guard installed, thereby exposing the employee to flying grinding wheel material if the grinding wheel were to explode.
