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) On or about March 27, 1990, and at times prior to, at the company
facility of John Morrell & Company, located at 1400 Weber Avenue,
Sioux Falls, South Dakota, employees were exposed to the hazard of
a fall or being crushed by the moving freight elevator or other
injuries because of the following conditions:
1) The north hoistway door on the sixth floor landing of #27 freight
elevator did not lock in a closed position when the elevator car was
not at the landing.
2) The freight elevator hoistway door on the lower lamb cooler landing
was not provided with an interlocking device.
Feasible and acceptable methods of correcting these hazards, among
others, would be to:
1) Properly adjust the locking device to prevent the door from being
opened when the freight elevator was not at the landing.
2) Provide a positive locking device on the hoistway door to prevent
the door from being opened when the elevator is not at the landing.
