Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: CRUSHING
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not 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) Coke Side Bench, Door Machine No. 2, Coke Oven Batteries P-1 and P-2: Employees were exposed to crushing/amputation injuries from operation of the No. 2 Door Machine without the automatic audible warning device ("Woofer") functioning to alert personnel of the machine's approach on February 27th and February 28, 1992. Feasible and useful abatement methods for reducing this hazard among others are: 1. Enforce the existing program for inspection on each shift to determine proper functioning of all alarms on Door Machines including "Woofers". 2. Make prompt repairs as needed to ensure that all alarms on Door Machines including "Woofers" are functioning at all times.
