General-duty citation text
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish employmnent 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 flying fragments in the event of wheel failure: a.) Break Area - On or about 09-29-08, the abrasive wheel on the Baldor 7309 abrasive wheel bench grinder was not used and maintained in a safe manner. Employees were using the grinder improperly by, among other methods, side grinding, causing furrows to develop on the abrasive wheel. The wheel was in need of proper dressing. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable means to correct this hazard is to ensure that abrasive wheels and abrasive wheel machinery are used, maintained and stored in accordance with the American National Standards Institute, ANSI B7.1-2000 Safety Requirements for the Use, Care and Protection of Abrasive Wheels. Additionally, employees must be trained in the proper use of abrasive wheels, the correct procedures for mounting abrasive wheels and proper maintenance of abrasive wheel machinery.e
