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)  At the Salem Middle School, Salem, MA:  On March 27, 1992,
employee engaged in removing roof decking were exposed to the
hazard of falling from the roof to the ground or floor below
when working or standing near the edge where planks were being
removed.
NOTE:  Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement
method to correct this hazard is to use mobile scaffolding
positioned immediately adjacent and below the roof edge where
planks are being removed.  The scaffolding which could be re-
positioned easily as the work progresses would eliminate the
fall hazard as well as provide another safe working surface for
deck removal operations.
