National Emphasis Program on Hazardous Machinery Associated with Amputations

1. National Emphasis Program on Hazardous Machinery Associated with Amputations National Emphasis Program

2. What’s its purpose? • Describe policies and procedures to identify, reduce, and eliminate workplace industry hazards likely to cause amputations

3. Where does it apply? • OSHA wide • 40% of nations workplaces • States encouraged to adopt similar programs • General industry employers whose workplaces include shears, saws, slicers, slitters, and power presses (the 4s and a P)

4. What’s the background and reason for the program? • Continued incidence of amputations from the operation of saws, shears, slicers, slitters and power presses • Equipment was identified from three sources: • NIOSH research project on machine safety • OSHA IMIS accident database • BLS data

5. Saws • Used primarily in woodworking and manufacturing shops • Two types • Table • Radial arm • Other types include: Hand held Chop Miter Skil Band

6. Table saw

7. Radial arm saw

8. Hand held saw

9. Band saw

10. Miter saw

11. Shears • Self-contained machines using a mechanically driven ram • Ram moves a nonrotary blade at a constant rate past the edge of fixed blade • Machine components consist of: Frame RAM Blades Drive Hold-down(s) Guards Clutch Brake

12. Shear Pre-cut Shear for pre-cut profiles

13. Power squaring shear

14. Hydraulic shear

15. Hand operated shear

16. Slicers • Commonly used to slice meat and food • Use rotary blade • Guillotine cutters used in other industries • Most injuries occur in restaurants and grocery stores

17. Meat slicer Meat Holder Rotating Blade On/off switch Thickness adjustment

18. Slitters • Use rotary knives to slit flat rolled metal coils, plastic film and paper rolls • Injuries involve contact with slitter blades, in-going nip/pinch points, and movement of coils and rolls

19. Metal slitter

20. Metal slitter • Variable or single speed • Minimum slit width 1” • Maximum number of slits (number of knives) 48 • Material thickness, 29 gauge to 16 gauge

21. Paper slitting operation Stock is fed through unit Stock is placed in unit Stock is trimmed into 2” x 5” finished cards

22. Power presses • NEP covers all types of power presses • Presses consist of stationary bed, and slide • Used in a variety of industries

23. Part revolution clutch Floor Mounted Bench Top

24. Presence device Control box Light curtain

25. Two-hand controls Key Selector capable of being supervised Top Stop Emergency Stop Indicator Light

26. Full revolution clutch

27. Press brake

28. Two person operation with pullbacks

29. Program Procedures • Existing programs may be combined or expanded, or a new program developed • NEP includes three activities: • Outreach • Targeting/selection • Inspection NEP - Amputations

30. When will the program start? • Outreach - 30 days from effective date of directive • Inspections - 90 days after outreach period is initiated

34. Additions to list • Area offices will obtain and use additional data to identify and add establishments where serious injuries or fatalities related to these machines have occurred • Local information could include • IMIS/Workers’ compensation data • NIOSH/hospital admissions/discharge data • OSHA 200 log

35. Inspection Procedures • Scheduled I.A.W. firm • Once scheduled, IMIS data base will be searched for employer’s citation and fatality/accident history prior to opening conference • At opening conference, CSHO will inquire if any of this machinery is present in the workplace

36. Inspection procedures (cont’d) • If present, a thorough inspection will be conducted focusing on: • Nip points • Pinch points • Shear points • Cutting actions • Point(s) of operation

37. Inspection procedures (cont’d) • CSHO will also evaluate employee exposures during the following: • Regular operation of machine • Setup/threading/preparation for operation of machine • Clearing jamups or upset conditions • Making adjustments while machine is operating • Cleaning of machine • Oiling/greasing of machine /machine parts • Scheduled/unscheduled maintenance • Lockout/tagout considerations

38. Inspections procedures (cont’d) • CSHO will review OSHA 200 log for all amputation injuries or hazards • Limited to hazards associated with power presses, saws, shears, slicers, and slitters, but may be expanded • Inspections will begin this fiscal year • Because program may yield significant cases, A.D.s, supervisors and CSHOs should ensure case developments are being met

39. Scheduling and resource allocation • Resources - R.A.’s will ensure adequate resources for this NEP • Planning - R.A.’s will report to DCP, # of inspections planned each quarter, and 30 days after end of each quarter, number of inspections conducted

40. Scheduling and resource allocation (cont’d) • Priority - Inspection conducted under this NEP have a lower priority than Site Specific Targeting (SST), but have a higher priority than other programmed inspections • Conflicts - May compete with available resources

41. Coordination • National Office • NEP will be coordinated with Office of General Industry Compliance, DCP • Field • Each R.A. will have a coordinator

42. Training • Due to nature of program, staff must have adequate training or experience • OTI provides training materials • Additional sessions of power press/machine guarding course can be made available • Can be expanded to include use of stop time measuring device

43. Additional training • On-the-Job-Training • Enforcement and compliance issues

44. Federal agencies/program evaluation Area Offices Federal Agencies Evaluate according to CPL2.102 G.4 Regional Offices

45. IMIS coding • Inspections in industries where potential exposure exist will be coded as an amputation hazard • Done regardless of whether machinery was guarded and amputation hazard removed • Coding and back coding done for all industries except construction
