Q

are normal production operations covered by this standard?

A
  • no they are not.
  • servicing and/or maintenance which takes place during normal production operations are covered by this standard only if:
    • an employee is required to remove or bypass a guard or other safety device, or

Q

whats an exception to the application of this standard?, and why does Sesek refute this exception?

A
  • minor tool changes and adjustments, and any other minor servicing activities, which take place during normal production operations, are not covered by this standard if they are routine, repetitive, and integral to the use of the equipment for production, provided that the work is performed using alternative measures which provide effective protection
  • Sesek refutes this exception b/c just because a company thinks what they’re doing is repetitive/routine/normal, doesn’t mean that its actually normal routine work (unsafely having to fix a machine on a regular normal basis doesn’t mean you’re excluded)
