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:
Employees are subjected to broken bones, crushing, and possible
death while exposed to the hazard created by the cracked frame

portion of the collander along with other necessary bracing and
support to ensure the safety of the employees working in the
area until permanent and adequate repairs are made or until the
collander is replaced.

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:
Employees are subjected to the possibility of crushing, broken
bones, and death while exposed to the hazards created by an
overhead crane which was not properly suspended, in the 60 ft.
hose area, and the use of a spreader bar which was bent and
twisted.  The crane runway at the aisle end was modified and
suspended by Grade 7 high test chain.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement
method to correct this hazard is to have the crane suspension
system properly repaired under the direction of a qualified
engineer or the equipment manufacturer and test the crane to
125% of the rated load.  The spreader bar shall also be
inspected, repaired, and proof-tested by a qualified engineer
or a representative of the equipment manufacturer.
