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:
a) On and before May 11, 1988, at the Capital Bank Plaza Project,
employee(s) were exposed to the hazard of being struck by or crushed
while erecting concrete tilt slab panels adjacent to previously
erected panels which were not anchored and braced properly.
Particular concerns include the following hazards:
1) The minimum allowable skew angle of 5 degrees with braces set
perpendicular (90 degrees) to a panel was exceeded.
2) Expansion bolts were used to anchor the braces to the panels: Wall
brace inserts are required.
3) With panels of a cantilevered configuration the stiff leg supporting
the over hand was attached to the panel with expansion bolts: Wall
brace inserts are required.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to abate these
hazards is to follow the recommendations and requirements as provided by
the bracing material manufacturer and supplier; as found in Burke
Catalog No. 870 and to follow the blue print requirements (Print and
Page No. PN-17; as furnished to the site).
