Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: UNAPOPPROC
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 the employer did not ensure that the wheel speed was kept under the maximum operating speed as indicated by the rated speed of the abrasive grinding wheel: a) Whemco - Ohio Foundry, Inc. - Lima, Ohio: On or about August 27, 2009 the employer did not ensure that the 72-inch Roll Grinding Machine (Waldrich Siegen, Type WS II HK sp x 9.144, Serial 12480) was prevented from exceeding the maximum operating speed for the abrasive grinding wheel being used. ABATEMENT NOTE: Among other means of abatement, one feasible and acceptable method to abate this item is to follow ANSI B7.1-2000, including Section 6.2 - Spindle Speed, and Section 7.1 - Standard Speeds, which would ensure that maximum operating speed is not exceeded for the specific wheel being used on the 72-inch Roll Grinding Machine. In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d), abatement certification is required for this violation (using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET), and in addition, documentation demonstrating that abatement is complete must be included with your certification. This documentation may include, but is not limited to, evidence of the purchase or repair of the equipment, photographic or video evidence of abatement, or other written records.
