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 amputation hazard:
a) Machine Shop  - The Peerless LVC-12, vertical band saw was not equipped
with a
magnetic restarter or similar device, as prescribed by the American
National Standards,
ANSI B11.10-2003, Section 6.7.1, 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 B11.10-2003.
In accordance with 29 CFR 1903.19(d), abatement certification is required
for this
violation (using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET),
and in addition, documentation demonstrating that abatement is complete
must be
included with your certification.  This documentation may include, but is
not limited to,
evidence of the purchase or repair of the equipment, photographic or video
evidence of
abatement, or other written records.
