General-duty citation text
29 CFR 1910.212(a)(3)(ii):Point(s) of operation of machinery were not guarded to prevent employee(s) from having any part of their body in the danger zone(s) during operating cycle(s): (a) Facility: On or about January 7, 2022, there were three uncovered openings (approximately 15 inch wide by 12 inch high, 8 1/2 inch wide by 7 1/2 inches high and 11 1/4 inches wide by 12 inches high) in the expandable metal guard to the in-running rollers to the Bradbury standing seam roll form (SSR) machine. Sets of in running rollers were approximately 13 inches away from these openings. An employee operates this machine about 4 days a week. (b) Facility: On or about January 7, 2022, the interlocks to the front and back expandable metal guards to the Bradbury (standing seam roof machine) set of rollers were not working properly in that it allowed the guards to be opened and the rollers would continue to run. An employee suffered an amputation of a finger when he went to clean the in-running rollers with a rag. The rag got caught in a set of in-running rollers and amputated part of one finger and badly damaged another finger. (c) Facility: On or about January 7, 2022, the front guard (closest to the machine operators controls) and the back guard, that were over the in-running rollers to the running Bradbury SSR (standing seam roof machine) were opened and in a vertical position. This exposed numbers of sets of rollers to the operator or other employees passing by the machine. This machine was normally run this way with the front expandable metal guard in the open (vertical) position and often the back expandable guard also run in the open position. Management had the operator keep especially the front expandable metal guard open so that it would be easier to count the number of sheets of product that the machine was making. This condition exposed employees to in-running nip points from the in-running rollers that would cold form the flat coil of steel into standing seam roof panels.
