Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:

29 CFR 1910.22(b)(1): Where mechanical handling equipment was used, sufficient safe clearances were not allowed for aisles, at loading docks, through doorways and wherever turns or passage had to be made. Aisles and passageways were not kept clear and in good repair, with no obstruction across or in aisles that could create a hazard. a) Machine Shop - The passageway was not kept clear, as it was partially blocked by a cart containing metal rolls and two material handling carts. b) Laser Department - The passageway was not kept clear, as it was partially blocked by cardboard boxes and pallets, and at the end of the passageway, a crane extended out into the passageway. c) Department 36 - The passageway was not kept clear, as it was partially blocked by pallets, a partially assembled dryer and a metal canopy frame, which made it difficult to maneuver manually operated carts with metal rolls that weigh 100 to 4,500 pounds. d) Lathes Department, North and South Area(s) - The passageway and aisles were not kept clear, as they contained carts with metal rolls and metal frames leaning against other frames and equipment. Also, metal racks used for storing metal poles extended out into the passageway leading to the Rolls Department.
