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 or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to the hazard of contact with a moving saw blade: a) The Rockford and Wellsaw band saws in the tool room were not equipped with magnetic restart or similar devices, as prescribed by the American National Standards for Metal Cutting Saws, ANSI B11.10-1990, Section 5.2.3.4, that in the event of an interruption in the electrical supply would prevent the saw from restarting automatically when power is restored. A feasible means of abatement would be to provide a magnetic restarter or similar device as required by ANSI B11.10-1990. b) The Rockford band saw in the tool room was equipped with an unprotected toggle-type motor starter switch instead of a starter that was located, designed, constructed, interlocked, or guarded to protect against unintended operation, as prescribed by the American National Standards for Metal Cutting Saws, ANSI B11.10-1990, Section 5.2.3.1. A feasible method of abatement would be to provide a motor starter switch that meets the requirements of ANSI B11.10-1990. Abatement certification is required for this item in accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(c).
