General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of Public Law 91-596, the Occupational Safety and Health
Act of 1970:  The
employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were
free from
recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious
physical harm to
employees, in that employees were exposed to: injury from the unintended
operation of a power
press brake.
(a)Fabrication Department, Cover Fabrication Area near center of North
Wall -
Employees operating the Wisconsin Hydraulic-Powered Press Brake, where the
Roswell
Louver Stamping (Die) operation was being run, were not protected from
inadvertent
stroking of the press brake due to the absence of a single-stroke
mechanism, and the
absence of a guard over the foot pedal.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this
hazard is:
(1)Install a Stroking Control Mechanism whose design allows supervision to
select
the following operating modes: "OFF", "INCH", "SINGLE STROKE", etc., and
(2)Provide a guard over the foot pedal.
