General-duty citation text
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish to each of his employees a place of employment which was free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to an amputation hazard. The employees were required to operate a press brake without a guard to cover the foot pedal used to activate the machine. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard is to provide a guard or cover for the foot pedal that meets the requirements on ANSI (American National Standards Institute) B11.3-2002 section 6.10.2 Safety Requirements for Power Press Brakes. Which states: When provided, foot controls shall be protected to prevent actuation from falling or moving objects, or from unintended actuation. DISCLAIMERS: 1) You are not limited to the abatement methods suggested above. 2) The methods explained are general and may not be effective in all cases. 3) The employer is responsible for selecting and carrying out an appropriate method.
