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)  Jobsite, a 1 ft. X  24 ft. scaffold board; was used as an
employee runway to bridge the gap between an elevated truck
bed and the edge of a roof located 17 ft. above the ground
and was not secured from movement at the roof edge nor at
the truck bed.  The scaffold board was being used by
employees to load materials such as 4 ft. X 8 ft. sheets of
plywood between the roof and truck.
One or more feasible and acceptable abatement methods to
correct this hazard is to;
(1)  Secure the scaffold board to the truck bed and the roof.
(2)  Ensure  the keys to the truck door and ignition are in a
lock box with access controlled by the person(s) using
the lift bed function of the truck.
(3)  Ensure the truck is secured from movement with
bidirectional
blocking of at least two sets of wheels.
(4)  Ensure lifting bed controls are key controlled and those
keys are under supervisor control when employees are
working in the elevated bed of the truck.
(5)  Ensure the lifting mechanism is prevented from premature
release due to a failure in any singular mechanism.
