Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002B Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.215(b)(9): Exposure adjustment. Safety guards of the types described in Subparagraphs (3) and (4) of this paragraph, where the operator stands in front of the opening, shall be constructed so that the peripheral protecting member can be adjusted to the constantly decreasing diameter of the wheel. The maximum angular exposure above the horizontal plane of the wheel spindle as specified in paragraphs (b)(3) and (4) of this section shall never be exceeded, and the distance between the wheel periphery and the adjustable tongue or the end of the peripheral member at the top shall never exceed one-fourth inch. On or about August 10, 2020, a bench grinder located in the fabrication shop was observed with tongue guard opening to the wheel periphery opening of approximately one inch and a quarter. This condition exposed employees to struck by hazards.
