%%
employer fid 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
the hazard of being struck by concrete pumping truck.
a.  At construction site, Dog River Road, Douglasville, GA.
employee was exposed to when working on and near concrete pump
truck that shifted suddenly when it's right front outrigger
broke through the dunnage and sank into the ground.  An employee
of another employer on site died from injuries sustained when
he was struck by the shifting concrete pump truck's concrete
delivery hose, on or about August 30, 1991.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is to establish methods and procedures to determine
the ground conditions on the job site, so a suitable area with stable
ground conditions can be used for pump truck set up.  Also, when it is
determined that ground conditions are unstable, methods and procedure
should be established to choose and place dunnage materials ofsufficient
strength to support the load of the outriggers.
