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. Garage - The JET bench grinder was not equipped with a work rest. Gary M. Pomeroy Logging, Inc. was previously cited for a violation of this Occupational Safety and Health Standard or its equivalent standard, which was contained in OSHA Inspection number 314071762, Citation 1 Item 5a, and was affirmed as a final order on 2/11/2010, with respect to a workplace located at Hermon, Maine.
