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 fall hazard: a) Vertical Venture, Rte. 115 and Long Pond Rd., Long Pond, PA; employee(s) were hoisted and lowered in a personnel platform connected to the hook of a Grove Model TMS 475 Hydraulic Crane, Serial Number 30487 as prohibited in Section 15.3.2.3.e ANSI B 30.15 Mobile Hydraulic Cranes; to assist in stabilizing the personnel platform during "bungee jumping" activities. The platform is connected to the jib by use of a stabilizing lanyard, thus the jib is being used for purposes other than those recommended by the manufacturer; and "bungee jumping" from the platform subjected the boom of the crane to side loading, June 12, 1992. ONE FEASIBLE MEANS OF ABATEMENT WOULD BE TO CEASE OPERATIONS WHERE EMPLOYEES ARE REQUIRED TO BE ON THE LOAD OR HOOK WHILE HOISTING, LOWERING, SWINGING OR TRAVELING.
