General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of 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:
On 7/16/93. 2nd Floor East side of the building
The employees were working with a rigid 270 pipe
threader which did not have a constant pressure
foot pedal device, that would automatically shut
off the machine if the operator remove his foot from
the pedal.
ABATEMENT NOTE:   Among other methods, one feasible method
to reduce this hazard is to establish and  enforce adequate safe
operating procedures.  Procedures such as those stipulated in
American National Standard for portable pipe threading machine
(ANSI B 208.1-1982). Elements essential to an acceptable safe
operating procedure include at a minimum:
(1)  Installation of a momentary contact device (deadman foot switch)
to control power input to the machine .  This device would
automatically
stop the machine and the rotating pipe if the operators
foot was removed from the foot switch for any reason.
(2)  Provide training  and education to the machine operators concerning
all the appropriate procedures for the safe operation and use of
this type of machinery.
