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:
(a)Employees were exposed to the hazard of serious injuries including
crushing,
lacerations and amputations, due to the start-up of conveyors while
employees are
either walking alongside of, or doing routine maintenance such as greasing
the
bearings and the rollers in the tunnel area of the conveyor or on the
catwalk
alongside of the main conveyor which transports material to the Headturn,
on or
about 4/4/96.
Feasible and acceptable methods among others to correct the hazard are to:
(1)When a conveyor that would cause injury when started is automatically
controlled
or must be controlled from a remote location, an audible device shall be
provided
that can be clearly heard at all points along the conveyor where personnel
may
be present.  The warning device shall be actuated by the controller device
starting
the conveyor and shall continue for a required period of time before the
conveyor
starts.  A flashing light or similar visual warning may be used in
conjunction with
or in place of the audible device if more effective in particular
circumstances.
(2)Remotely and automatically controlled conveyors, and conveyors where
operator
stations are not manned, or are beyond voice and visual contact from drive
areas,
loading areas, transfer point, and other potentially hazardous locations
on the
conveyor path not guarded by location, position, or guards, shall be
furnished
with emergency stop buttons, pullcords, limit switches, or similar
emergency stop
devices.  The emergency stop devices shall be installed so that they
cannot be
overridden from other locations.  Manual reset or start at the location
where the
emergency stop was initiated shall be required for the conveyor(s) and
associated
equipment to resume operation.
