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 struck-by, crushing, and/or amputation hazards: (a) An employee working in the north bay area was observed operating the Vasnag CNC lathe, serial #306003-1-2, 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 door during machine operating cycle. (b) An employee working in the south bay area was observed operating the Fryer Easy Turn CNC lathe, serial #30429, 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 door during machine operating cycle. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard would be 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. Abatement Note: Abatement certification is required for this item (see enclosed "Sample Abatement Certification Letter").tion
