Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002C Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.215(d)(1):Inspection. Immediately before mounting, all wheels shall be closely inspected and sounded by the user (ring test) to make sure they have not been damaged in transit, storage, or otherwise. The spindle speed of the machine shall be checked before mounting of the wheel to be certain that it does not exceed the maximum operating speed marked on the wheel. Wheels should be tapped gently with a light nonmetallic implement, such as the handle of a screwdriver for light wheels, or a wooden mallet for heavier wheels. If they sound cracked (dead), they shall not be used. This is known as the "Ring Test". Employees of Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry were exposed to potential struck-by hazards when a new grinding wheel was installed on the Delta Shopmaster Bench Grinder in the Pattern Shop without an inspection or a ring test to ensure the stone had not been damaged.
