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 not trained
to recognize the dangers involved with their jobs, nor were they
properly instructed in the steps to be taken to avoid dangerous exposure
to the unstable stacking of railcard lumber which they came into close
proximity in their daily job assignment.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is to provide a formal training program which would
educate the exposed employees to the hazards which they will encounter
in their daily assignments and the steps which they should take to
protect themselves from those hazards:
Central Stock Room, Material Area - The employees of the
material unloading area were not trained to recognize hazards
of the exposure related to the unsecure binding and stacking
of lumber stored in rail freight cars.
