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 being struck by vehicular traffics:
a)The employees were not wearing a vest where there was an exposure to
moving
traffic.
b)Training was not provided to the employees in the recognition of unsafe
conditions in work zone safety.
Among other methods, recognized and feasible means of abatement to correct
this hazard is to:
a) Ensure that employees who set out traffic signs are provided with
suitable traffic vests and
provided with training that enables them to recognize and control hazards
associated with
vehicles; and, b) Comply with the applicable elements required by the
Manual

affects highway
and street traffic.
