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: Employees performing grain elevator operations while utilizing passenger elevator, are exposed to fall hazards due to poor maintenance and the absence of an inspection program. This is evidenced by the accident which occurred on or about February 25, 1991. Two employees riding in the elevator were injured because the elevator free-fell 90 feet to the ground below. The elevator had not been inspected since it was installed 10 years ago. Feasable and useful abatement methods for elimination of the hazard include, but are not limited to: 1. Establish a maintenance program in accordance to ANSI A17.1.1971 for elevator maintenance. The elements of the program are: a) Periodic maintenance inspections at intervals no longer than 6 months. b) The safety governor and oil buffer shall be inpsected and tested for conformance with the requirements of rules 100.2 through 100.5 of ANSI Section A.17.1971. At intervals of not more than twelve (12) months unless regular maintenance and inspections indicate tests should be made at shorter intervals.
