Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 005 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.219(f)(3): Sprockets and chains. All sprocket wheels and chains shall be enclosed unless they are more than seven (7) feet above the floor or platform. Where the drive extends over other machine or working areas, protection against falling shall be provided. This subparagraph does not apply to manually operated sprockets. a. On or about January 12, 2017, located north of the Core Baker machine, there was a chain and sprocket that was approximately five inches off the floor that was not adequately guarded, thereby exposing the employees to a caught-in hazard. b. On or about January 12, 2017, located between the Hot Wheel Kiln and upender on the conveyor line, there was a shuttle car that would handle wheels from each conveyor line. On the side of the shuttle car there was an unguarded chain and sprocket that was 8-1/2 inches from a fixed open guardrail, thereby exposing the employees to a caught-in hazard. The Amsted Rail Company was previously cited for a violation of this occupational safety and health standard 1910.219(f)(3), which was contained in OSHA inspection number 1084779, citation number 1, item number 1 and was affirmed as a final order on October 19, 2015, with respect to a workplace located at 2100 Wheel Drive Bessemer, AL 35020.
