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 hazards of falling into the hoistway shaft when the elevator car was
not in the landing zone.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this
hazard is provide an elevator hoistway door or gate that is electrically
interlocked so that latched doors or gates cannot be opened from the
landing:
Freight Elevator, 2nd and 3rd Floors - A means was not
provided to prevent employee exposure to falls of up to
sixteen feet to the 1st floor, in that the sliding doors
on the 2nd and 3rd floors could be opened without the
elevator car being at the landing.
