Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.212(a)(2): Guard(s) on machine(s) were not affixed to the machine or secured elsewhere when attachment to the machine was not possible: a. On or about March 19, 2025, at the above-mentioned workplace, the employer did not ensure that all guards on the CM Shredder's conveyor systems were affixed and/or secured in a manner that would prevent employees from removing the machine guards and having any part of their body near the ingoing nip-point rollers during the operating cycle. Employees were thereby exposed to amputation hazards associated with unsecured machine guarding.
