General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
employer did not
provide employment and a place of employment which was free from
recognized hazards
which were likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in
that employees
were exposed to caught-in hazards at the conveyor:
a)On or about June 16, 2005, and at times prior, employees were exposed to
rotating
parts on the feed conveyor when shovelling aggregate and pumice that had
fallen from the
belt at the load belt located outside the facility.   The conveyor was not
provided with an
emergency stop on the side where the employee was working.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this
hazardous condition would be to comply with ANSI B20.1-2003, Section
5.11.2C, and
provide emergency stop buttons, pull cords, limit switches or similar
emergency stop devices
for all remotely and automatically controlled conveyor where operator
stations
are not
manned or are beyond voice or visual contact from drive areas, loading
areas, transfer
points, and other potentially hazardous locations on the conveyor path not
guarded by
location, position, or guards.
Abatement Note:  Abatement certification is required for this item (see
enclosed "Sample
Abatement-Certification Letter").
