cause death, or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were
exposed to
unintentionally cycling of shear:
(a)In the Shop Area - The Windmill Tailfin shear is operated by a foot
treadle.  The
return spring for the treadle is not a compression type spring.  A broken

cycling unintentionally when the operator is in the point of operation.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct
the hazard is to install a compression type spring as required by ANSI
B11.4
section 5.2.2.5.5(2)(b) for shears..5(2)(b)
