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
crushing injuries from railroad car hopper doors which were being
opened and closed without ensuring that door areas were closed.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this
hazard is to:
a) Institute and enforce a written lock-out procedure whereby the
maintenance employees would physically lock out the control box to
prevent unintended operation of the door, and
b) Institute and enforce a written procedure requiring visual contact
between the door operator on one side of the car and the laborer on
the opposite side of the car, so that both employees would stand at
the end where the controls are, with one employee on each side of the
car.
