Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 004B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.212(a)(3)(ii): The point of operation of machines whose operation exposes an employee to injury, shall be 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 as to prevent the operator from having any part of his body in the danger zone during the operating cycle. a. On or about June 22, 2016, located in the Splice Department, employees operated a bench cutter, asset number BC 029, in order to cut a rubber material. The bench cutter had light curtains that were installed too high and too close to the point-of-operation. The installation of the light curtains did not prevent an operator from making contact with the point-of-operation during a machine cycle. This resulted in the amputation of an employees finger. The Lauren Manufacturing 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 1022119, citation number 2, item number 1 and was affirmed as a final order on May 16, 2016 with respect to a workplace located at 2228 Reiser Avenue S.E.
