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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Inspection procedures (cont’d) h 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 37 Previous Next

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

Scheduling and resource allocation h Resources - R. A. ’s will ensure adequate resources for this NEP h 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 39 Previous Next

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

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

Training h Due to nature of program, staff must have adequate training or experience h 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 – 42 Previous Next
