General-duty citation text
29 CFR 1910.215(a)(4): Work rests. On offhand grinding machines, work rests shall be used to support the work. They shall be of rigid construction and designed to be adjustable to compensate for wheel wear. Work rests shall be kept adjusted closely to the wheel with a maximum opening of one-eighth inch to prevent the work from being jammed between the wheel and the rest, which may cause wheel breakage. The work rest shall be securely clamped after each adjustment. The adjustment shall not be made with the wheel in motion. Repair shop - On or about January 10, 2013, the left side of pedestal Skil 6" grinder did not have a work rest to protect the abrasive wheel, thereby exposing the employees to the hazards associated with rotating parts.
