Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard: CUTS
North Carolina General Statute 95-129(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of North Carolina: The employer did not furnish to each of his employees conditions of employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees: a)site, plant 1 (maint building) vulcanizer area, for the lack of proper maintenance and repair of the large vulcanizer door, referred to as the "big door", and its seal. Several signs indicative of poor maintenance thereby leading to improper closing and locking of the vulcanizer door include, but are not limited to: the necessary use of a forklift to open and close the door; worn-out gasket seal leading to occasional steam leaking and running the locking collar past the guide bars; and a potentially sagging door as evident from cutting and welding repairs to the upper section of the hinge.
