What this inspection record means

OSHA opens inspections for many reasons — routine scheduling under a national or local emphasis program, an employee complaint or referral, or a follow-up after a reported injury. Opening or conducting an inspection is not itself an allegation or a finding that this employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

29 CFR 1910.212(a)(2):   Guard(s) on machine(s) were not affixed to the machine or secured elsewhere when attachment to the machine was not possible:    Work Site located at 402 N. 3rd Street, Norfolk, NE; Processing Area:  An Reitz Extruder machine (grinder) was fitted with a guard which was not secured.

On 11-18-2013, a temporary employee sustained amputation injuries to the left ring and middle fingers as a result of removing the guard prior to ensuring the machine was off.  The guard was easily removed and not secured to the vat or the extruder.       Abatement certification is required for this violation.  The abatement certification sheet is enclosed with the citations.
