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 crushing injury or death when entering/exiting through the overhead door: (a)Throughout plant; one or more of the overhead doors had disconnected safety devices and were equipped with 3 button switches that were not constant pressure switches. Among other methods, three feasible and acceptable abatement methods to correct this hazard are: (1)A constant pressure actuation switch. This would always be operated in sight of the door so that it could be released and manually reversed before an obstruction was hit. (2)Installation of a reversing edge switch. This would allow an automatic closing control out of sight of the door, but would immediately reverse the direction of the door upon striking an obstruction. A variation to this option would be the use of photoelectric cells that would reverse the door when an obstruction was encountered by the beam. (3)A three-button control switch. If the following conditions are also met: a)It is provided with a permanent placard adjacent to the switch with the following warning letters at least " high: - WARNING - - TO PREVENT ENTRAPMENT- DO NOT START DOOR DOWNWARD UNLESS DOORWAY IS CLEAR b)The control station and placard are located within sight of the doorway. c)Automatic closing controls are not also installed. d)Operator must remain at the control station and observe the door until the door is fully closed.
