Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.212(a)(3)(ii): Point of operation guards were not designed and constructed as to prevent the operator from having any part of their body in the danger zone during the operating cycle: (a) Machining Department - Employees used two Whirlwind, model 212, cut-off saws, known as Saw #1 and Saw #2, to cut long plastic boards into smaller uniform length pieces. These saws did not have complete point of operation guards in that both saws' clamp/guard assemblies were missing the front shields, exposing employees to contact with rotating saw blades, on or about August 11, 2020. Abatement certification required within 10 days after abatement date. The certification shall include a statement that abatement is complete, date and method of abatement, and state employees and their representatives were informed of this abatement.
