General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1):  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 the hazard of
crushed or
broken bones from the unsafe operation of a pipe threader:
a)Building #8, boiler house
Employees exposed to the hazard of being caught in a pipe threader, were
operating a
Rigid 300 electric pipe threader, S/N 7592826, which was not provided with
an
operable foot switch control as required by the American National
Standards Institute
B208.1-1982 Section 4.4.
One feasible method of abatement would be to provide a momentary contact
device to
control power input to the pipe threading machine.  A guarded foot switch
is an
example of such a momentary contact device.
Violation observed on or about 6/8/95.
