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) In the machine shop the Walker Turner vertical band saw with serial
number 518F3A was
not equipped with a magnetic restarter or similar device, 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.
Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with the
requirements
of
29 CFR 1903.19(d).
