Fabrication Safety Survey.pdf

The document is a Fabrication Safety Survey detailing safety compliance and remediation requirements for nine machines in a fabrication shop. The survey covers various machine types including hydraulic iron workers, horizontal and vertical band saws, engine lathes, drill presses, and an orbital forming rivet spinner from manufacturers like E Edwards, Dake, Hardinge, Cincinnati, and Taumel Assembly Systems. Each machine is evaluated for hazard levels (low to medium/high) and current compliance with OSHA 1910.212, OSHA 1910.145, ANSI B11.8, ANSI B11.19, and NFPA 79 standards.

Proposed remediation measures include installing emergency-stop buttons, self-latching emergency-stop palm stations, danger signs, universal ball & socket shields, combination disconnect/starter units, and protective guards. Specific recommendations vary by machine but generally focus on preventing access to moving parts, adding safety interlocks, and ensuring proper emergency shutdown capabilities. The survey identifies potential hazards such as flying chips, debris, sparks, entanglement risks, rotating/reciprocating motions, and potential for fractures or lacerations. These safety improvements are part of a solicitation (FA309925Q0005) by the 47th Contracting Squadron at Laughlin AFB, TX, to install safety measures for the 47 FTW/MXMO Fabrication Shop.
