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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 struck-by, crushing, and/or amputation hazards:
(a) In the machining room for employees operating the TRAK TRL 1745 S CNC
lathe,
serial #023AU11744, where the CNC lathe was not equipped with a functional
door
interlock device exposing employees to the potential hazard of being
struck by parts
expelled from the turning lathe or being caught in the moving machinery
inside the
turning lathe by opening the lathe door during machine operating cycle.
(b) In the machining room for employees operating the TRAK TRL2460SX CNC
lathe,
serial #084CV62226, where the CNC lathe was not equipped with a functional
door
interlock device exposing employees to the potential hazard of being
struck by parts
expelled from the turning lathe or being caught in the moving machinery
inside the
turning lathe by opening the lathe door during machine operating cycle.
(c) In the machining room for employees operating the VMC 2040L CNC machine
center, serial #N7070168, where the CNC machine center was not equipped
with a
functional door interlock device exposing employees to the potential
hazard of being
struck by parts expelled from the machine center or being caught in the
moving
machinery inside the machine center by opening the machine center door
during 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 CNC lathes as required by ANSI
B11.2-2002 Safety
Requirements for Turning Centers 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 movement shall
cease and
be inhibited.
