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 point of operation hazards:
a)  Press Area - The BALDWIN 200 ton press did not incorporate an
anti-repeat feature
into the two-hand control system.  When the two-hand controls were held in
the
operating or depressed position the press cycled continuously.  The
controls, also, were
not designed to require release of all operator's hand controls before an
interrupted stroke
could resume.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is
to install anti-repeat feature.
