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) Welding Department: On 6/4/90 and before employees were exposed to
the hazard of being struck and seriously injured by steel troughs
during a welding operation. The troughs were suspended from an
overhead hoist by means of C-clamps attached to the troughs, which
were not designed for this application and were subject to slipping.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method would
be to use rigging and workpiece holding equipment designed and rated for
this application; and insuring that workpieces are placed on stable,
solid surface or fixture during welding; and insuring that no parts of
employee's bodies are beneath suspended loads duringplacement and
removal of workpiece onto the surface or fixture.
