General-duty citation text
40.1-51.1(a) of the Code of Virginia: Des Champs Laboratories, 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 operating a Accurshear hydraulic shear, serial #3225, model #625012, which was located in Building A, which exposed them to: (a) Contusions and abrasions by not providing adequate safeguarding to the back of the shear to prevent the operator and other employees from injury by being too close to the moving parts and excess stock. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard would be to provide an awareness barrier on the back of the shear to prevent employees from coming too close to the machine such as that called for by ANSI B11.4-1983, American National Standard Safety Code for Shears.
