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 required to lift reels of wire in excess of the NIOSH recommended weight to the payoff fixtures of the front armoring machines and to lower reels of wire in excess of the NIOSH recommended weight form the take up shafts of the wire cutter machines exposing employees to serious back injuries. One method of abating the hazard is to provide hydraulic tables for lifting and lowering the reels. A second method of abating the hazard is to reduce the weights of the reels. ABATEMENT SCHEDULE STEP 1- Effective administrative protection, such as employee training, physical assessment, job rotation, etc., shall be provided as an interim protective measure until feasible engineering or permanent administrative controls can be implemented which will reduce employee exposure to nominal risk. STEP 2- A written detailed plan of abatement shall be submitted to the Area Director outlining a schedule for the implementation of engineering and/or administrative measures to control employee injury due to annual lifting tests. Engineering controls to reduce musculoskeletal stresses include, but are not limited to: Job redesign, reduction of the lifting aids. This plan shall include, at a minimum, target dates for the following actions, which must be consistent with the dates required by this citation. 1) Evaluation of the conditions, locations and manual lifting activities that the employees are performing at the onset of musculoskeletal injuries. 2) Evaluation of applicable control measures. 3) Procurement, installation and operation of selected control measures. 4) Testing and acceptance or modification/redesign of controls. All proposed control measures shall be approved for each particular use by a competent industrial hygienist or other technically qualified person. 90-day progress reports are required during the abatement period. STEP 3- Abatement shall have been completed by the implementation of feasible engineering and/or administrative controls upon verificationof their effectiveness in reducing the occurance of musculoskeletal injuries.
