  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

  31. Standard industrial classification codes - 1910.212, All machines RankSIC CodeIndustry 1 3089 Plastic products, not elsewhere classified 2 3444 Sheet metal work 3 3441 Fabricated Structural Metal 4 3469 Metal Stampings, not elsewhere classified 5 3499 Fabricated Metal Products, not elsewhere 6 8051 Skilled Nursing Care Facilities 7 3741 Motor Vehicle Parts and Accessories 8 3599 Industrial and Commercial Machinery & Eq. 9 3442 Metal Doors, Sash, Frames, Molding & Trim 10 3443 Fabricated Plate Work, (boiler shops)

  32. Standard industrial classification codes - 1910.213, Woodworking machinery RankSIC CodeIndustry 1 2511 Wood Household Furniture, Except Uph. 2 2431 Millwork 3 2499 Wood Products, not elsewhere classified 4 3089 Plastics Products, not elsewhere classified 5 2421 Sawmills and Planing Mills, General 6 2434 Wood Kitchen Cabinets 7 3732 Boat Building and Repairing 8 2448 Wood Pallets and Skids 9 2451 Mobile Homes 10 2541 Wooden Office and Store Fixtures

  33. Standard industrial classification codes - 1910.217, Power presses RankSIC CodeIndustry 1 3469 Metal Stampings, not elsewhere classified 2 3499 Fabricated Metal Products 3 3444 Sheet Metal Work 4 3442 Metal Doors, Sash, Frames, Moldings, &Trim 5 3441 Fabricated Structural Metal 6 3496 Miscellaneous Fabricated Wire Products 7 3429 Hardware, not elsewhere classified 8 3443 Fabricated Plate Work, (boiler shops) 9 2542 Metal Office and Store Fixtures 10 3714 Metal Vehicle Parts and Accessories

  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
