Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.213(m)(1): The cutting heads on each wood shaper, hand-fed panel raiser or other similar machine not automatically fed, were not enclosed with a cage or adjustable guard so designed as to keep the operator's hand away from the cutting edge. The diameter of circular shaper guards shall be not less than the greatest diameter of the cutter. In no case shall a warning device of leather or other material attached to the spindle be acceptable: On or about October 16, 2019, the employer failed to ensure that the cutting edge of the notcher blade on the Martin Pistorius Notch Saw (serial #15128), was effectively guarded. Although there was an adjustable guard on the machine, the guard was not sufficient as it left a gap in the rear of the guard directly in the area of the cutting edge of the notcher blade. An employee sustained a amputation as a result of the gap in the rear of the guard.
