29 CFR 1910.212(a)(3)(ii): The point of operation of machines whose operation exposed an employee to injury, was not guarded: The employer does not guard the point of operation of machines as required by 29 CFR 1910.212(a)(3)(ii). This violation was most recently documented at the address located above as follows: (a) On or about January 11, 2021, employees were exposed to crushing/pinch point hazards and amputation hazards while working on and around the Trumabend V320 Press Brake. The point of operation was not guarded. Tramont Manufacturing LLC was previously cited for a violation of this Occupational Safety and Health Standard or its equivalent standard 1910.212(a)(3)(ii), which was contained in OSHA inspection number 1461083, citation number 1, item number 4, and was affirmed as a final order on May 1, 2020, with respect to a workplace located at 326 East Keefe Avenue in Milwaukee, WI. To abate this violation, the employer must ensure that the points of operation of machines whose operation exposed an employee to injury are guarded. The guarding device shall be in conformity with any appropriate standards therefor, or in the absence of applicable specific standards, shall be so designed and constructed to prevent the operator from having any part of their body in the danger zone during the operating cycle. Pursuant to 29 CFR 1903.19, abatement certification and documentation are required for this item. The employer's certification that abatement is complete must include [in addition to the requirements in 1903.19(h)], the date and method of abatement and a statement that affected employees have been informed of the abatement. The employer must also submit documents demonstrating that abatement is complete to include, but not limited to, evidence of the purchase or repair of equipment, photographic or video evidence of abatement, or other written records.
