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 and/or struck-by hazards from moving machinery: (a) In the lathe department for the employee operating the Hwacheon HI-ECO 21HS CNC lathe, serial #M058347C2KC, where the lathe was not equipped with an operable door interlock device exposing the employee 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. (b) In the lathe department for the employee observed operating the Hwacheon HI-ECO 21HS CNC lathe, serial #M058347B2KC, where the lathe was not equipped with an operable door interlock device exposing the employee 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. (c) In the lathe department for the employee observed operating the Index G300 CNC lathe, serial #500107, where the lathe was not equipped with an operable door interlock device exposing the employee 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. (d) In the VMC Department for the employee observed operating the Monarch CNC mill, serial #91011B, where the mill was not equipped with an operable door interlock device exposing the employee to the potential hazard of being struck by parts being expelled from the mill or being caught in the moving machinery inside the mill by opening the mill door during the machine operating cycle. (e) In the VMC department for the employee observed operating the Matsura ES-550V CNC mill, serial #031315562, where the mill was not equipped with an operable door interlock device exposing the employee to the potential hazard of being struck by parts being expelled from the mill or being caught in the moving machinery inside the mill by opening the mill 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 above CNC lathes and mills as required by ANSI B11.2- 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 thismode, to open an interlocked moveable guard, the hazardous movement shall cease and be inhibited. Abatement Note: Abatement certification is required for this item (see enclosed "Sample Abatement Certification Letter").tion
