General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
employer did not
furnish his employees 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, on or about
9/30/99, employees working at 1305 West 43rd Street, Wheat Ridge, Colorado
were exposed
to falling load hazards and/or the hazards of machine tip-over, when the
sling was not properly
rigged in a manner to ensure load stability and control.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazardous
condition would be to utilize the use of lift bolts to control movement of
the sling on the load.
