General-duty citation text
The alleged violations below have been grouped because they involve similar or related hazards that may increase the potential for injury resulting from an accident. 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 fall hazards up to 63 feet: (a) C Wing Roof Area; Proper safety belt utilization was not provided for employees removing "stickers" from approximately 4 x 8 concrete slabs thereby exposing employees to fall hazards from 14 ft. to 63 ft. (on or about April 6, 1993). Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is the use of lifelines installed above the point of operation, safety harnesses with retractable lanyards, catch platforms or scaffolding.
