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 either one, two or three floors while riding in the #2
elevator because of transporting equipment such as the Clark grab
truck #47 that exceeds the elevators rated capacity of 6,000 lbs.
One feasible and acceptable abatement method is to institute an educa-
tion and enforcement program to assure the elevator is never overloaded
as specified in ANSI A17.1-1987 American National Standards Institute
Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators Rule 207.66.
