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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Initial $750 · Current $750
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 hazards of the rotating blade(s):
(a) Main Shop, North End, Vertical Band Saw Area - provisions were not
made to prevent the
Do All vertical band saw, Model Number 36-3, Serial Number 5354131, from
restarting upon
restoration of electrical power after a power source failure.  The saw was
last used on or about
January 31, 2009.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable means of abatement in
event of interruption
in the electrical supply to the Do All vertical band saw would be to
provide an electrical device
that it is designed to prevent the saws from restarting automatically when
power is restored, such
as a magnetic re-starter or similar device as prescribed by the American
National
Standard
Institute for Metal Cutting Sawing Machines, ANSI B11.10-2003, Section
6.11 and the National
Fire Protection Association for Electrical Standard for Industry Machinery
79-2007, Section
7.5.3.
In accordance with 29 CFR 29 1903.19(d), abatement certification is
required for this
violation (using the CERTIFICATION OF CORRECTIVE ACTION WORKSHEET), and
in addition, documentation demonstrating that abatement is complete must
be included with
your certification.  This documentation may include, but is not limited
to, evidence of the
purchase or repair of the equipment, photographic or video evidence of
abatement or other
written records.
