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:
(a)  On or about 07/25/96 at 3716 Chief Drive, Rapid City, SD, employees
working
under a mobile home were exposed to the hazard of being crushed.
Among others, one feasible and acceptable method of abatement to correct
this hazard is to:
1)  Place cribbing under the I-beam at both ends of the mobile home prior
to allowing
employees to crawl under the mobile home and work.
2)  Eliminate the stacking of air bags as a means to lift a mobile home.
3)  Ensure the area around the mobile home is clear of dirt and other
hazards that
would hinder the placement of sound footings for lifting devices such as
hydraulic
jacks.
4)  Follow safe work practices as defined by the American National
Standards
Institute - ANSI A225.1 - 1994, "Manufactured Home Installation".
