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 were likely to cause
death or serious physical harm to employees, in that employees were
exposed to potential lacerations,
contusions, fractures or crushing injuries as a result of being struck by
loads suspended from lifting devices
which have not been tested, certified and marked with their maximum rated
load:
(a)Plantwide --- Employee(s) utilized a variety of field-made
below-the-hook lifting device(s)
and/or non-alloy steel chain sling(s) to lift and/or move truck engine,
transmission and carrier
parts and assemblies, up to and including complete engines, transmissions
and carriers.  The
device(s) and sling(s) had not been proof or load tested and certified,
nor marked with their
identification, including the manufacturer's name and address, weight and
rated load.
Examples of such devices and slings included:
(1)Receiving Cell -- RI-025 Swivel Hook, RI-03 L-Hook, RI-01 Crank Hook,
and
CA-
F05 Scissor Hook;
(2)United Cell, Steam Room Area -- TD-6 Large Stand Lifter, EALF-151 Bar &
Chain,
and CR-F-012 Bar with Chains; and
(3)Basic Engine Cell -- EN-FO56 Lift Basic Engines,
on or about October 5, 2004.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method of abatement to
correct this hazard would
be to purchase all below-the-hook lifting devices and steel chain slings
from manufacturer(s) who
has(have) proof tested their units, provide(s) a certificate of the proof
test, and mark(s) the units with
appropriate identification, including the manufacturer's name and address,
serial number of the device,
weight (if over 100 pounds), size, reach and rated capacity or load, as
appropriate, (As referenced in
ASME B30.20 - 1999 and B30.9 - 1996).
