A few weeks back I posted a OSHRC decision where an OSHA citation for not treating the CNC doors as guards was upheld. Since then I have received numerous e-mails and a few phone calls telling me I am crazy, as if it was my decision. Then last week the Video of the Week was a series of video’s showing failures within a CNC machine and how a closed door would have helped protect the...
