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) 6/27 & 7/10/91 at Northeast American Ltd. dBA Westside Cadillac Oldsmobile, Schenectady,NY, employees were exposed to the hazard of serious crushing injuries from the dropping of live pneumatic automotive lifts while working under vehicles on the lifts. Safety locking devices (pins,latches or dogs) were not operational or not provided on the lifts in the service area. Two single piston lifts did not have any safety latches and the three double piston lifts had non-operational latches. Feasible and acceptable methods among others to correct the hazard is to: a) Install automatic mechanical safety locking devices on each lift. b) Instruct and train employees in the proper use of mechanical safety locking devices for pneumatic lifts. c) Conduct periodic inspections of the lifts as recommended by the lift manufacturer to insure that the safety locking devices and all other components are in safe operating condition. d) Post manufacturers operating manuals in the service area for reference.
