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 hazard of being struck by falling loads being lifted by a truck crane. The alleged violations below have been grouped because they involve similar or related hazards that may increase the potential for injury resulting from an accident. The load of bar joists being hoisted was rigged in such a manner that the wire rope sling pulled against one leg of the shackle which was attached to the headache ball. Applying pressure to a leg of the shackle could lead to the legs opening up and dropping the load. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable means to correct this hazard is to follow recommended safety practices in the attachment of slings to the hook of the crane.
