29 CFR 1910.215(a)(4): Work rests. On offhand grinding machines, work rests shall be used to support the work. They shall be of rigid construction and designed to be adjustable to compensate for wheel wear. Work rests shall be kept adjusted closely to the wheel with a maximum opening of one-eighth inch to prevent the work from being jammed between the wheel and the rest, which may cause wheel breakage. The work rest shall be securely clamped after each adjustment. The adjustment shall not be made with the wheel in motion. a. On or about June 9, 2015, located in the Stair Bay, there was a Baldor bench grinder, serial number F687, that was used to grind metal with a work rests set approximately one inch from the grinding wheels, thereby exposing the employees to a struck-by hazard and/or caught-in hazard.
