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: a) Plastic Components, Inc. - North Ridgeville, Ohio: On or about January 16, 2004 the employer failed to ensure that employees were protected from thermal burns due to contact with purged molten plastic from a horizontal injection molding machine (Press #13 - Van Dorn - serial number CV-500). The purge guard was kept open by a bungee cord while the machine operated. The injection mold machine was located on the molding floor. b) Plastic Components, Inc. - North Ridgeville, Ohio: On or about January 16, 2004 the employer failed to ensure that employees were protected from thermal burns due to contact with purged molten plastic from a horizontal injection molding machine (Press #24 - Nissei - serial number S36E020). The purge guard was open while the machine continued to operate. The machine was located on the molding floor. c) Plastic Components, Inc. - North Ridgeville, Ohio: On or about January 16, 2004 the employer failed to ensure that employees were protected from thermal burns due to contact with purged molten plastic from a horizontal injection molding machine (Press #4 - Nissei - serial number S26E073). The purge guard was open while the machine continued to operate. The machine was located on the molding floor. d) Plastic Components, Inc. - North Ridgeville, Ohio: On or about January 28, 2004 the employer failed to ensure that employees were protected from thermal burns due to contact with an uncovered heated injecting barrel on a horizontal injection molding machine (Press #1 - Nissei - serial number S26E007). The barrel guard had been removed from the machine while it continued to operate. The machine was located on the molding floor. One feasible means of abating this hazard is to install purge area guards and injection barrel guards, as supplied by the manufacturer of the specific injection molding machines, and in compliance with ANSI B151.1-1997, Sections 5.3.5 and 5.3.6 (Horizontal Injection Molding Machines - Safety Requirements for Manufacture, Care, and Use).

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: a) Plastic Components, Inc. - North Ridgeville, Ohio: On or about January 16, 2004 the employer failed to ensure that the work platform elevated by a powered industrial truck (Nissan - model CUB01-001081; serial number CUB01L155) was secured to the lifting carriage or forks of the industrial truck. An employee was elevated to approximately 12 feet above the floor while changing fuses in overhead electrical installations on the molding floor.
