1 National Emphasis Program on Amputations Presented by Mr. Ronald Stephens OSHA Technical Specialist SafetyFirstna, Inc. Safety Day 2014 Waubonsee Community College 1 OSHA NEP on Amputations CPL Effective Date 10/27/2006 Cancels OSHA Instruction CPL (CPL ), National Emphasis Program on Amputations, March 26,

2 History of the Program On February 28, 1997, Instruction CPL established and implemented a National Emphasis Program on Mechanical Power Presses as part of the Agency s strategic goal of reducing amputations in general industry workplaces Following that Program, on March 26, 2002, OSHA implemented OSHA Instruction CPL (previously known as CPL ), National Emphasis Program on Amputations, in order to address additional machinery associated with amputation hazards thereby reducing injuries 3 Significant Changes The revised directive focuses on identifying industries and establishments associated with amputations rather than on equipment associated with amputations. Appendix D of the revised directive lists some of the typical machinery and equipment associated with amputations. The revised directive incorporates a comparison chart for the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes and the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes in Appendix B. The revised targeting methodology is based on a combination of more current data from IMIS and BLS sources as explained in Appendix C. The revised targeting methodology includes two additional standards that are generally recognized as being related to amputation hazards. The additional standards are , The Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout) and , Mechanical Power-transmission Apparatus 4 2

3 What s its purpose? Describe policies and procedures to identify and reduce workplace industry hazards likely to cause amputations Amputations have a devastating on companies, workers and workers families and are preventable 5 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, and power presses (the 3s and a P) 6 3

4 What s the background and reason for the program? Continued incidence of amputations from the operation of saws, shears, slicers, and power presses of all types Equipment was identified from three sources: NIOSH research project on machine safety OSHA IMIS accident database BLS data 7 Saws Used primarily in woodworking and manufacturing shops Two types Table Radial arm Other types include: Hand held Chop Miter Skil Band 8 4

5 Table saw 9 Radial arm saw 10 5

6 Hand held saw 11 Band saw 12 6

7 Miter saw 13 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 14 7

8 Shear Pre-cut Shear for pre-cut profiles 15 Power squaring shear 16 8

9 Hydraulic shear 17 Hand operated shear 18 9

10 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 19 Meat slicer Rotating Blade Meat Holder On/off switch Thickness adjustment 20 10

11 Power presses NEP covers all types of power presses Presses consist of stationary bed, and slide Used in a variety of industries 21 Part revolution clutch Floor Mounted Bench Top 22 11

12 Presence device Control box Light curtain 23 Two-hand controls Key Selector capable of being supervised Top Stop Emergency Stop Indicator Light 24 12

13 Full revolution clutch 25 Press brake 26 13

14 Two person operation with pullbacks 27 Program Procedures Existing programs may be combined or expanded, or a new program developed NEP includes three activities: Outreach Targeting/selection Inspection NEP - Amputations 28 14

15 Standard industrial classification codes , All machines SIC Code Industry 3499 Fabricated Metal Products, Not Elsewhere Classified 3443 Fabricated Plate Work (boiler shops) 3441 Fabricated Structural Metal 3599 Industrial and Commercial Machinery and Equipment, Not Elsewhere Classified 3442 Metal Doors, Sash, and Trim 3469 Metal Stampings, Not Elsewhere Classified 3496 Miscellaneous Fabricated Wire Products 3714 Motor Vehicles Parts and Accessories 3089 Plastic Products, Not Elsewhere Classified 3444 Sheet Metal Work 29 Standard industrial classification codes , Woodworking machinery SIC Code Industry 3499 Fabricated Metal Products, NEC 2431 Mill work 2451 Mobile Homes 3089 Plastic Products, NEC 2421 Sawmills & Planning Mills 2434 Wood Kitchen Cabinets 2511 Wood Household Furniture, Excepted Upholstered 2541 Wood Office and Store Fixtures, Partitions, Shelving, and Lockers 2448 Wood Pallets & Skids 2499 Wood Products, Not Elsewhere Classified 30 15

16 Standard industrial classification codes , Power presses SIC Code Industry 3499 Fabricated Metal Products, Not Elsewhere Classified 3443 Fabricated Plate Work (boiler shops) 3441 Fabricated Structural Metal 3429 Hardware, Not Elsewhere Classified 3442 Metal Doors, Sash, Frames, Molding, and Trim 3469 Metal Stampings, Not Elsewhere Classified 3496 Miscellaneous Fabricated Wire Products 3714 Motor Vehicle Parts and Accessories 2542 Office & Store Fixtures, Partitions, Shelving, & Lockers, 3444 Sheet Metal Work 31 Additions to list Area offices will obtain and use additional data to identify and add establishments where amputation injuries or fatalities related to these machines have occurred in the last 5 years. Local information could include IMIS/Workers compensation data NIOSH/hospital admissions/discharge data Emergency Medical Services, fire department, and police reports OSHA 200 and 300 logs 32 16

17 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 33 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 34 17

18 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 35 Inspections procedures (cont d) CSHO will review 300logs for all amputation injuries or hazards Limited to hazards associated with power presses, saws, shears, and slicers, but may be expanded Inspections are ongoing as of 10/27/06 Because program may yield significant cases, A.D.s, supervisors and CSHOs should ensure case developments are being met 36 18

19 Scheduling and resource allocation Resources - R.A. s will ensure adequate resources for this NEP Planning - R.A. s will report to DCP, the number of NEP inspections that are planned for each fiscal year 37 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 38 19

20 Coordination National Office NEP will be coordinated with Office of General Industry Compliance, DCP Field Each R.A. will have a coordinator 39 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 40 20

21 Additional training On-the-Job-Training Enforcement and compliance issues 41 Federal agencies/program evaluation 42 21

22 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 43 22
