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: (a)On or about May 4, 1994 at the Cooper T. Smith marine terminal at the Jefferson County Port Authority "Mack" trucks marked #1, #3, #4 hauling scrap stainless steel were backing up to dump at a overhead crane loading facility and none of the three truck's drivers had a clear view to backup, exposing employees to the hazard of being run over by a truck. Feasible and acceptable abatement methods, among others, to correct this hazard are to have a signalman to direct the truck driver while he is backing up or to install a back-up beeper or alarm to alert employees working behind the truck of its imminent approach.

Smith marine terminal at the Jefferson County Port Authority a "Mack" truck marked #1 hauling scrap stainless steel was found to have a broken windshield which impeded the driver's view. This creates a hazard for employees working in the marine terminal yard of being crushed by equipment because of impeded vision of the truck operator. One feasible and acceptable abatement method, among others, to correct this hazard, is to replace the windshield.
