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 crushing hazards. At the Bond wrapping machine operators are sometimes required to tape a roll of paper prior to the roll getting wrapped. This is performed while the roll is moving forward towards the sizer. The potential for getting crushed is when the roll is at the sizing station and the sizer engages. An employee was caught in this area and received a severely bruised leg. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard is to install an automatic tape dispenser to eliminate the need for an operator to tape the rolls.or
