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 hazards associated with crushing injuries from presses: Press Dept.: The employer did not ensure that the clamps which held the die to the press plate of a hydraulic press were secured. An operator's fingers were amputated when the 1500 pound die fell while making light domes. Possible methods to abate the hazard are: 1) Institute a formal inspection program to ensure that clamps and bolts are secured and do not come loose. 2) Evaluate all die setups to ensure that clamps and bolts are sized correctly for the weight of the dies. 3) Ensure that the dies of hydrualic presses are adequately secured to the press plates.
