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 a building structure failure while working/walking under
floor slabs which are being suspended on the lifting system:
a) Jobsite: On or about 7/3/87, 8/26/87 and 9/4/87, employees not
essential to jacking operations were permitted to work under slabs
while the slabs were suspended on the lifting system when provisions
were not adequate to prevent a local failure from precipitating a
progressive failure of the building or any part of the building.
Among other methods one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct these hazards is to assure that no employees, except employees
required to place temporary supports should be permitted to work/walk
under floor slabs until the floor slabs are adequately secured in place.
