General-duty citation text

Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970.
a.)Reedville Marine Railway, outside yard area.  The employer did not
furnish
employees a place of employment which was free from recognized hazards that
were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to
employees;
in that employees operating the "engine hoist" (a monorail system) were
exposed to potential injury from falling loads and/or falling hoist parts,
as
support beams, nor the load block, were permanently marked at to their load
capacity.
The  "H" configuration monorail system was comprised of two fixed
horizontal steel I-beams, a center fixed (monorail) steel I-beam track, an
underhung load block and four supporting timbers (or pilings) upon which
the
monorail system rested.  The hoist system was manually operated.
This requirement is referenced in the consensus standard, ANSI B30.11-1973,
Section 11-1.1.2 "Rated Load Markings, Monorail Systems", which states
"each hoist or lifting device on a monorail system shall be marked with its
rated load.  These markings shall be clearly legible from the loading
position."
AMONG OTHER METHODS, ONE FEASIBLE AND ACCEPTABLE
ABATEMENT METHOD TO CORRECT THIS HAZARD IS TO MARK
THE I-BEAMS AND LOAD BLOCK WITH THEIR RATED CAPACITIES.,
