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: An employee left a 1 ton crane attached to the center post when stretching the bladder. This practice can result in overloading the crane. Additionally, the crane is used to pull sideways on tires in the curing presses. This practice could result in the hoist carriage becoming displaced and requiring the crane to be run against the stops or another crane in order to knock the hoist carriage back into position. Both of these practices could result in component failure resulting in the hoist falling on employees. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to stop pulling sideways with the cranes and stop leaving the crane attached to the center post when lowering the center post. Additionally, the company should comply with A.N.S.I. B30.11, Standard for Monorail Systems and Underhung Cranes. CERTIFICATION REQUIRED FOR THIS ITEM.
