Severe injury reports

Employers must report any work-related amputation, in-patient hospitalization or loss of an eye to OSHA within 24 hours. 1 report on file.

Apr 5, 2018, Chillicothe: Amputation · amputations · fingertip(s)

An employee was hand feeding strips of steel into a full-revolution press and punching out multiple parts from a single strip. He was trying to remove the raw material skeleton blank from the die when the press cycled, causing the die to close on his hand. The die came to a stop at the bottom of the stroke, trapping his hand in the die and severing his left middle fingertip.

(iv) Ventilation. Every inside storage room shall be provided with either a gravity or a mechanical exhaust ventilation system. Such system shall be designed to provide for a complete change of air within the room at least six times per hour. If a mechanical exhaust system is used, it shall be controlled by a switch located outside of the door. The ventilating equipment and any lighting fixtures shall be operated by the same switch. A pilot light shall be installed adjacent to the switch if Category 1 or 2 flammable liquids, or Category 3 flammable liquids with a flashpoint below 100 °F (37.8 °C), are dispensed within the room. Where gravity ventilation is provided, the fresh air intake, as well as the exhaust outlet from the room, shall be on the exterior of the building in which the room is located.

29 CFR 1910.107 · Spray painting and finishing

29 CFR 1910.107(b)(5)(i)

(i) The spraying operations except electrostatic spraying operations shall be so designed, installed and maintained that the average air velocity over the open face of the booth (or booth cross section during spraying operations) shall be not less than 100 linear feet per minute. Electrostatic spraying operations may be conducted with an air velocity over the open face of the booth of not less than 60 linear feet per minute, or more, depending on the volume of the finishing material being applied and its flammability and explosion characteristics. Visible gauges or audible alarm or pressure activated devices shall be installed to indicate or insure that the required air velocity is maintained. Filter rolls shall be inspected to insure proper replacement of filter media.

29 CFR 1910.107(c)(6)
