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 the hazard of being struck by suspended loads. YARD: ON OR ABOUT 6/4/93, A POST RACK HOLDING GALVANIZED METAL BEAMS WAS BEING TRANSFERRED FROM OVERHEAD MONORAIL CRANES TO A FORK TRUCK. THE LOAD FELL OF DURING TRANSFRE. AMONG OTHER METHODS, ONE FEASIBLE AND ACCPTABLE ABATEMENT METHOD TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IS TO: 1. PROVIDE OPERATORS ADEQUATE IN-DEPTH TRAINING IN HOW TO USE THE CRANES AND HOW TO SAFELY DO THE UNHOOKING OPERATION. 2. REDESIGN THE PENDANT CONTROL CABLES AND THE CABLE TAKEUP REELING SYTEMS FOR THE CRANES SO THAT THE OPERATORS CAN MAINTAIN A SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE LOADS AND FROM THE FORK TRUCK DURING THE UNHOOKING AND THE TRANSFER OPERATION. 3. INSTITUTE ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS TO ENSURE THAT RACKS AND PARTS BEING LIFTED ARE WITHIN THE CAPACITIES OF THE CRANES. THE LOADS THAT WERE LIFTED EXCEEDED THE CRANE CAPACITIES. 4. REDESIGN POST RACKS SO THAT THEY POSITIVELY HOLD THE LOADS AND CAN BE SECURELY ATTACHED TO THE FORK TRUCK.
