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
falling or being thrown from a moving vehicle. Two employees were riding
on a Belroc Bobcat in the parking lot on the north side of the
construction site. One employee was standing on a step on the side, and
holding on to the rollover protective structure of the Bobcot, on or
about 8/11/87.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is to restrict the number of employees allowed to
ride on a vehicle to the number of seats with seat belts provided on the
vehicle.
