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 remotely and automatically controlled conveyors with potentially hazardous locations on the conveyor path: a) Employees were observed vacuuming coke debris in the coke breeze belt conveyor pit (at the United States Steel Division of USX, Fairless Works) in the blast furnace department adjacent to ingoing nip points created by the conveyor belt and rollers and emergency stop devices were not in the immediate vicinity of the hazards, June 19, 1989. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to install and emergency stop device in the immediate vicinity of the hazardous locations so that the device acts directly on the control of the conveyor. The emergency stop device shall depend on the stopping of any other equipment and the device shall be installed so that it cannot be overridden from other locations.
