General-duty citation text
40.1-51.1(a) of the Code of Virginia: The employer, Technicolor, did not furnish each of their employees a safe employment and a place of employment which was free from recognized hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees, in that employees operate a stationary trash compactor which exposes them to potential fractures, laceration or limited disability when its control switches malfunction. a. The trash compactor in the disc grinding room did not function, in accordance with the forward and reverse controls indicated on each button. American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z245.1 1984, (6.4 & 6.5) requires establishing and following a program of periodic & regular inspections to ensure that all parts, components, and safe guards are in safe operating condition, and adjusted in accordance with the manufacturer's recommended procedures. This should include keeping all malfunction reports, records of inspections, and maintenance work performed. b. The trash compactor in the disc grinding room had no sign posted inside or outside saying- Caution - KEEP OUT, or Danger - DO NOT ENTER. ANSI Z245.1 1984, (8.9.2) requires a sign to be posted inside, saying: DANGER - "DO NOT ENTER," and a sign on the outside face of the charging hopper, saying: CAUTION - KEEP OUT One feasible and acceptable abatement method, among others, to correct this hazard is to inspect and test the mechanical components and safeguards to determine their safety and compliance with the requirements of this code before being placed in service.
