General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:
The employer did not furnish to each of his employees a place of
employment which were free
from recognized hazards that were causing or were likely to cause death or
serious physical
harm to employees in that employees were exposed to a caught-in-between
hazard:
On or about 03/08/02, employees were exposed to a caught-in-between hazard
while working
on a wood chipper without having received proper training on the safe
operation and servicing
of the machine.
Among other methods of abatement, a feasible and acceptable method to
correct this hazard from
occurring again, is to have employees trained on the safe operating and
servicing procedures,
and have an operator's manual available on site.
PLEASE NOTE: CERTIFICATION OF ABATEMENT IS REQUIRED FOR THIS
VIOLATION.
