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

29 CFR 1910.133(a)(3): The employer did not ensure that each affected employee who wore prescription lenses while engaged in operations that involved eye hazards wore eye protection that incorporated the prescription in its design, or wore eye protection that could be worn over the prescription lenses without disturbing the proper position of the prescription lenses or the protective lenses: (a) Soap Stone Sawmill, 332 Little Britain Church Road, Peach Bottom, Pennsylvania - Employees operated machinery and equipment, including, but not limited to, a chain saw and a custom-made A-frame hydraulic-powered horizontal drill rig while building timber mats. The chain saw and custom-made A-frame hydraulic-powered horizontal drill rig generated flying wood particles, and employees who wore prescription glasses wore regular prescription glasses rather than safety eye protection that incorporated the prescription in its design or safety eye protection that could be worn over the prescription lenses, exposing these employees' eyes to a struck-by hazard, on or about August 24, 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.
