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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
employer does not
furnish to each of his employees a place of employment which is free from
the recognized
hazards of being struck-by parts expelled from a modified turning chuck on
a CNC lathe that
is causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees.
This violation was observed at the employer's worksite located at 16601
Central
Green
Blvd. Suite 300, Houston, TX. on September 1, 2010, where employees
operated a
Hwacheon Cutex 240 CNC Lathe #3 that had been modified by the employer to
operate
with a chuck secured chuck without consulting the manufacturer.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method for abatement is
to purchase
the appropriate work holding device (Chuck) for the plastic billet
application that can be
mounted directly to the spindle as per ANSI B11.22-2002 Safety
Requirements for
Turning Centers and Automatic Numerically Controlled Turning Machines,
Paragraph
4.1 and 4.2.
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.
Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the
abatement date, the
employer must submit documentation describing the actions it is taking to
establish,
communicate, and implement written procedures to ensure that the proper
chuck (work
holding device) is used for the product being turned.
