Section 5(a)1 of the Occupational Safety and health Act of 1970: on or

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 in
that: employees were exposed to the hazard of being struck by dislodged
hoisting equipment.
a) Shaft 19b on 11/24/93.  The employees engaged in the construction of
the water tunnel
number 3 shaft 19b were exposed to the hazard of being struck by falling
hoisting equipment,
in that the anchorages (hold down rods) were not installed to prevent
overturning during use
as specified in Economy Forms Drawing DSME - 014.
The New Era Winch used during the concrete construction of shaft 19b was
positioned on the A-10 roll back platform which was fully extended over
the shaft.  The wire
rope cable of the winch was attached to the concrete formwork in the
shaft and was being
pretensioned without the use of the hold down rods to prevent the winch

platform from
overturning.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this
