General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The
employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were
free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death
or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to:
a) The hazards of being crushed or buried by a cave-in while drilling,
charging and loading blast holes in the lower area of a twenty-two
(22) foot high pile of solidified ammonium sulfate in the main plant,
bin #8 on 12/16/86.
One feasible and acceptable abatement method among others, to correct
this hazard is to use a battering ram type device fifteen (15) feet to
twenty (20) feet in length attached to the scoop or bucket of a front-
end loader to ram the pile, at different levels and loosen the
solidified material while keeping the operator of the front-end loader
at safe distance from collapsing materials.
