Wash. Admin. Code § 296-301-025 - Openers and pickers
(1) Beater
guards. When any opening or picker machinery is equipped with a beater, such
beater must be provided with metal covers which will prevent contact with the
beater. Such covers must be provided with an interlock which will prevent the
cover from being raised while the machine is in motion and prevent the
operation of the machine while the cover is open.
(2) Cleanout holes within reaching distance
of the fan or picker beater must have their covers securely fastened and they
must not be opened while the machine is in motion.
(3) Feed rolls. The feed rolls on all opening
and picking machinery must be covered with a guard designed to prevent the
operator from reaching the nip while the machinery is in operation.
(4) Removal of foreign ferrous material. All
textile opener lines must be equipped with magnetic separators, tramp iron
separators, or other means for the removal of foreign ferrous
material.
