(b) At Do All Industries in Glenburn, ND, for employees operating the Challenger CNC turning lathe in the new shop where the door on 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.    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.
