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 unintentional
start up of metal cutting saws:
American National Standard B11.10-1974--Safety Requirements for the
Construction, Care, and use of Metal
Sawing Machines, paragraph 4.2.3.4:   In the event of an interruption in
the electrical power supply, the machine
shall not restart automatically when power is restored:
National Fire Protection Association 79 - 2002--Electrical Standards for
Industrial Machineery, paragraph 7.5.3:
Upon restoration of the voltage or upon switching on the incoming supply,
automatic or unintentional restarting
of the machine shall be prevented when such a restart can cause a
hazardous condition:
a)  In the Repair Shop, the on/off switch for the Meade Band Sander was
by-passed.  The flexible power supply
cord was ran directly to the sander's motor.  The cord was plugged
into/taken out of the electrical outlet to
start/stop it.  The grinder could automatically restart with the
restoration of interrupted power supply.
b)  In the Repair Shop, the on/off switch for the Tool Post Grinder is a
toggle type, which would leave the circuit
open in the event of power disruption and the grinder could automatically
restart with the restoration of interrupted
power supply.
c)  In the Repair Shop, the on/off switch for the KI- Chop Saw is the flip
type commonly used to turn lights on
and off, which would leave the circuit open in the event of power
disruption and the saw could automatically
restart with the restoration of interrupted power supply.
Among other methods, feasible and acceptable abatement means to correct
these hazards include, but are not
limited to:
a)  Plug an anti-restart device between the power supply receptacle and
the power cord of the machinery.
b)  Use magnetic motor starter devices to provide anti-restart protection.
Abatement certification and abatement documentation is required for this
violation.  The documentation should
include written verification of abatement, applicable measurements or
monitoring results, and photographs or
videos which you believe will be helpful.  The abatement certification
sheet is enclosed with the citation(s).
