Summary: a large box retailer has a trash compactor. Workers were found to enter the trash chute that feeds the compactor. The interlock on the compactor door was defeated, and thus, the compactor would run with the door open. Workers use a 2X4 to push down material inside the compactor. Employees did not lock out the compactor when they entered it or the chute.
OSHA cited the employer under 1910.212 rather than 1910.147.
