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
crushing injuries;
a) On or about December 8, 1986, at 715 Denver Ave., Loveland Co.,
employees were not instructed in the recognition and avoidance of
unsafe conditions applicable to their work environment in that
employees were permitted to work around loads that were not secured
properly on a tractor trailer.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is to instruct employees on the hazards of unsecure
loads and the proper procedures to follow when a truck is being loaded
and unloaded.
