Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.219(d)(1): Pulley(s) with part(s) seven feet or less from the floor or work platform were not guarded in accordance with the requirements specified in 29 CFR 1910.219(m) and (o): a) Ridley USA Inc. Located at 546 Willow Street, Fort Collins, CO 80524: On and preceding December 3, 2018, the employer did not ensure that the pulley connected to the gearbox powering a screw conveyor system was adequately guarded. Employees use a sliding door to regulate flow of grain products through a grate and into a screw conveyor. The screw conveyor system is powered by a 10hp motor, belt and pulleys leading to the gearbox that transfers power to the screw conveyor. The belt/pulley for the gearbox was exposed on the west end which is along the walking path of the operator and other employees working in the area. This condition exposed employees to caught-in hazards.
