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 large trucks backing up to a loading station of a
ready mix concrete plant and striking employees causing a crushing
injury or death. Employees were routinely on foot in close proximity
to backing trucks which did not have a clear view to the rear and
did not have back-up alarms.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this
hazard would be to install back-up alarms on the vehicles which had an
obstructed view to the rear that would sound when the vehicle moved
backwards. The vehicle should also have working back-up lights.
