What this inspection record means

OSHA opens inspections for many reasons — routine scheduling under a national or local emphasis program, an employee complaint or referral, or a follow-up after a reported injury. Opening or conducting an inspection is not itself an allegation or a finding that this employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

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 crushing and/or struck-by hazards from moving machinery:
(a) At MTR Technologies, where the Milltronic SL14/6 CNC turning lathe,
serial #8491,
was not equipped with a door interlock device exposing employees to the
potential hazard
of being struck by parts being expelled from the turning lathe or being
caught in the
moving machinery inside the turning lathe by opening the lathe door during
the machine
operating cycle.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this
hazard is to install a door interlock device on the Milltronic SL14/6 CNC
turning lathe,
serial #8491, as required by ANSI B11.22-2002 Safety Requirements for
Turning Centers
and Automatic, Numerically Controlled Turning Machines, paragraphs 6.21
Safeguarding
and 6.21.1.2 Automatic Mode which states:
1.  Paragraph 6.21:  Machines shall be safeguarded wherever practical by
fixed or
interlocked moveable guards.
2.  Paragraph 6.21.1.2:  Machine operation shall only be possible when the
guards are
closed and the safeguarding (protective) devices are active.  If it is
possible, in this
mode, to open an interlocked moveable guard, the hazardous movements shall
cease and
be inhibited.
Abatement Note:  Abatement certification is required for this item (see
enclosed "Sample
Abatement Certification Letter").tion
