General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  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 in that employees were exposed to:
a) The hazard of being caught in shackles on shackle conveyors while
hanging chickens at the three re-hang stations in the re-hang area
where the shackle conveyors change elevation and at the three re-
inspection stations in the Eviscerating area where the inspectors
work adjacent to obstructions.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is to install at each station emergency stop buttons
pull cords, limit switches, or similar emergency stop devices
conveniently located and readily identifiable; and installed so they
act directly on the control of the conveyor concerned and cannot be
overridden from other locations.
