Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
1910.212(a)(1): One or more methods of machine guarding was not provided to protect the operator and other employees in the machine area from hazards such as those created by point of operation, ingoing nip points, rotating parts, flying chips and sparks. On or about August 14, 2019, the employer did not ensure that the #10 line, located in the Laminate 540 department was effectively guarded. The hazardous condition on the line includes; but is not limited to, the following: a. The mat cutting machinery, loaded and used by employees during the production of fiberglass mats; was unguarded. Employees were not protected from hazards created by rotating parts or caught by hazards created by the pneumatic clamp. Although emergency stop devices (e-stops) were affixed to the machinery, they were inadequate in that; the palm or mushroom-head type button was missing which restricts and/or prevents the operators ability to quickly shut-down the machinery in the event of an emergency.
