Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.146(c)(1): The employer did not evaluate the workplace to determine if any spaces were permit-required confined spaces: On or about February 7, 2022: An employee engaged in bailing cardboard at the Mid Nebraska Disposal recycling center at 7337 West Blender Road, Grand Island, Nebraska was exposed to caught between and amputation hazards related to employees entering a permit required confined space. The employer had an employee entering the PR-9 Summit Equipment Baler to clear a jam created during the feeding process without having evaluated the cardboard baling process to determine that the inside of the baler is a permit-required confined space thus contributing to the employee's amputation injuries.
