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 the hazard of falling while climbing bridge supports that
were inclinded at a 45 degree angle due to the lack of adequate fall
protection.
a)  Walt Whitman Bridge, renovation site,
Gloucester, NJ.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable
abatement method to correct this hazard would be to
have two lanyards attached to the safety belt.
Whereas, the employee would be protected from
falling by one lanyard until the second lanyard
could be secured and the later released at the
employee scaled the supports.
