Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.218(b)(1): Die keys and shims were not made from a grade of material that will not unduly crack or splinter. (a) 4000 Forge Hammer: On or about December 11, 2018, die keys used in the process to secure forge dies by insertion were made from 4340 alloy steel and struck by a 4340 steel alloy arbor attached to the pneumatic key driver as part of the die setting process. This caused the keys and shims to be exposed to forces that can cause cracking and splintering, exposing employees working on and around the Forging Die and associated die keys to struck by hazard from flying projectiles.
