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 of serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to the hazard of being struck by 500 pound bales of wool and being crushed or knocked to the floor. a) Lummus Baler Model # 132, J Baler - the company did not perform adequate regular maintenance of the baler. Because of this, employees are exposed to the hazard of being struck by 500 pound bales of wool. This happens when bales are misshapen in the compactor and unexpectedly fall from the machine onto employees. Observed 02/10/94. NOTE: One feasible method of abatement would be to do a thorough maintenance inspection of the baler and then correct deficiencies.
