General-duty citation text
OSH ACT of 1970 Section (5)(a)(1): 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: On or about and times prior to: 5/14/19 Location: Fabrication area, NW wall a) An employee was exposed to a struck-by hazards when operating a double bevel sliding compound miter saw without saw blade guard installed and improperly cutting L- angle aluminum extrusion. Feasible methods of abatement include but are not limited to: 1) KEEP GUARD IN PLACE and in working order. (See Pg. 1) 2) SECURE THE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece on the table and against the fence or when your hand will be dangerously close to the blade within 6" (152 mm). It is safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool. (See Pg. 1) 3) DO NOT PERFORM FREE-HAND OPERATIONS (workpiece not supported by table and fence). Hold the work firmly against the fence and table. Free-hand operations on a miter saw could cause the workpiece to be thrown at high speeds, causing serious injury. (See pg. 1) 4) CUTTING WITH YOUR SAW-If the slide feature is not used, ensure the saw head is pushed back as far as possible and the rail lock knob is tightened. This will prevent the saw from sliding along its rails as the workpiece is engaged. (See pg. 5) 5) Special Cuts: ALUMINUM CUTTING: Position the material so that you will be cutting the thinnest cross section. Figure 20 illustrates the wrong way to cut these extrusions. (see illustrations pg. 4 and text pg.6)
