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: (a.) The hazard of falling down the hoistway shaft from the second or third floor landings. The freight elevator gates could be opened without the elevator car in position at the landing, and (b.) The hazard of being struck by the elevator car and having a portion of ones body caught between the moving elevator car and the frame of the hoistway opening. The freight elevator controls on the third floor allowed the elevator car to be sent to another floor without the gates being fully closed. A feasible method to correct these hazards would be to repair the interlocks on the gate latch mechanisms so that their pins have to be physically engaged in the female portion of the latches at all of the gates at each landing in order for the elevator car to be called or sent to another landing. (4/25/2000).
