General-duty citation text
29 CFR 1910.212(a)(1): Machine guarding was not provided to protect operator(s) and other employees from hazard(s) created by the point of operation and pinch points: Fabrication Area: On December 10, 2019, an employee suffered a partial fingertip amputation while cutting pieces of fiberglass board when his finger got into the path of the hold-down. The barrier guard provided on the Lodge & Shipley shear, Model 0408, allowed access to both the hold-downs and point of operation in that: 1. A guard provided on for the first hold-down was raised high enough to allow fingers to pass underneath and into the path of the hold-down. 2. Sight openings provided in the guard were large enough to reach through to the shear point. 3. In at least one area, vertical members in the guard were bent, creating a space that could be reached through to the shear point.
