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 was free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to fractures and crushing injuries due to the roll-over and/or collision of power industrial truck(s): Throughout the Facility - Seat belts were not worn by employees operating forklifts on or adjacent to uneven surfaces, ramps, loading docks, and vehicular traffic lanes. Seat belts in forklifts are a component of an operator restraint system that is designed to reduce the incidence and severity of injuries to the operator in the event of a roll-over accident. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to abate this item is to ensure that all powered industrial trucks are equipped with seat belts and employees are required to use them.
