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 amputation hazards: a) On or about 01/10/12 in the Press Brake area; opening on press brake ( Amada NC-9 50 ton capacity 6.5' bed ) was set at approximately 1" with operator's fingers being as close as three inches away from point of operation while braking this part. Given the dimensions of this part a " dummy step" could have been used to eliminate the caught between hazard. b) On or about 01/10/12 in the Press Brake area; employer has adopted the " safe distance" guarding method but has not conducted annual inspections with each press brake operator as per CPL 2-1.25, Guidelines for Point of Operation Guarding Power Press Brake.
