Region VI OSHA § Arkansas § Louisiana § Oklahoma § Texas § New Mexico State Plan

Controlling Amputation Hazards Safeguarding is essential for protecting employees from needless and preventable injury. A good rule to remember is: Any machine part, function, or process that may cause injury must be safeguarded.

OSHA Definition: Amputation § An amputation is the traumatic loss of all or part of a limb or other external body part. This would include fingertip amputations with or without bone loss; medical amputation resulting from irreparable damage; and amputations of body parts that have since been reattached.

What is a Loss of an Eye? § Loss of an eye is the physical removal of the eye. This includes enucleation and evisceration. Does loss of an eye include loss of sight? § No. Loss of sight without the physical removal of the eye is not reportable under the requirements of section 1904. 39. However, a case involving loss of sight that results in the in-patient hospitalization of the worker within 24 hours of the work-related incident is reportable.
