Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: STRUCK BY
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: the employer did not furnish 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, in that employees were exposed to struck-by hazards by ejected parts: On July 15, 2003, employees were exposed to the hazards of being struck by a 1,100 pound, unbalanced part from the Giddings & Lewis CNC Vertical Boring Mill, S/N 513-59-79, company No. V10, during post milling cleaning operations. While in manual mode, the table, with the part mounted, was spun at a high rate of speed, in an effort to remove chips, cutting fluids, coolants, and water by centrifugal force, causing the part to be ejected from the chuck clamps. Feasible and acceptable methods to eliminate this hazard would be, but not limited to: A) secure the selection of the table speed manual mode of operation by either key-switch, access code or an equally secure means capable of being supervised; B) establish a written safe cleaning procedure, properly train the operator in the use of the procedure, the hazards involved and ensure the operation of the machine is properly supervised, as established in ANSI B11.23-2002, Safety Requirements for Machining Centers and Automatic, Numerically Controlled Milling, Drilling and Boring Machines.
