Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.217(c)(1)(i): The employer did not provide and ensure the usage of point of operation guards or properly applied point of operation devices on every operation performed on mechanical power press(es): a) On or about June 17, 2015, the employer failed to ensure that the part revolution mechanical power press #130 contained effective guarding to prevent employee exposure to the point of operation. The operator was operating the press in continuous mode. The cycles were initiated by single actuation of two hand controls. The two hand controls did not require constant pressure during continuous press mode allowing the operator to place themselves into the hazard area. b) On or about June 17, 2015, the employer failed to ensure that the part revolution mechanical power press #130 contained effective guarding to prevent employee exposure to the point of operation from the rear of the press. The operator enters the rear of the press for scrap and part retrieval. No guarding was in place to protect the employee from the point of operation. c) On or about June 15, 2015, the employer failed to ensure that the part revolution mechanical power press #124 contained effective guarding to prevent employee exposure to the point of operation. The operator was operating the press in continuous mode. The cycles were initiated by single actuation of two hand controls. The two hand controls did not require constant pressure during continuous press mode allowing the operator to place themselves into the hazard area. d) On or about June 15, 2015, the employer failed to ensure that the part revolution mechanical power press #124 contained effective guarding to prevent employee exposure to the point of operation from the rear of the press. The operator enters the rear of the press for scrap and part retrieval. No guarding was in place to protect the employee from the point of operation. e) On or about June 15, 2015, the employer failed to ensure that the Benchmaster part revolution punch press contained effective guarding to prevent employee exposure to the point of operation. Employees operate the press in continuous mode without any guarding in place.
