General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
employer did not
furnish employmnent 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:
a)Hotel wharf, portside M/V AI PU SHUN: Employees were exposed to a 9.5'
fall while
rigging a scrap metal dumpster for loading into the ships' hatch.
One feasible and acceptable abatement method, among others, to correct
this hazard is:
Develop a comprehensive SOP that fully describes the safety  procedures to
be
followed
when rigging a dumpster for loading onboard ship:
1.Remove the dumpster from the truck bed and connect the shackles from the
ground level.
2.Use the method employed by Hugo Neu Proler a leader in the scrap metal
business. A lifting pan is attached to the crane, trucks unload into the
pan, it's
then emptied into the hatch onboard ship. This eliminates rigging the lift
for
every load.
