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.
