Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 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 before September 11, 2017, the point of operation including the clamp and pressure dies on the Comco CNC pipe bender (model: KB-70NS; S/N: K-02707-N) was not guarded, thereby exposing employees to caught-in and struck-by hazards. On or about September 5, 2017, the tips of an employee's right ring and middle fingers were amputated due to getting caught in the clamp die while operating the Comco CNC pipe bender.
