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 an employee was exposed to a fall hazard estimated to be approximately 14 to 15 feet while working in the elevated bucket of the excavator: a.3734 Teays Valley Road - On or about August 11, 2003 an employee was re-attaching a sagging telephone cable to a supporting cable. Employee was elevated in the bucket of the Cat 320 CL excavator to reach the telephone cable. The employee did not have fall protection and was exposed to a fall estimated to be approximately 14 to 15 feet. Among other feasible and acceptable methods to correct this hazard are to: a.Prohibit employees from using the elevated bucket of the excavator as a work station. Instruction in the Operation and Maintenance Manual states " make sure that no personnel will be endangered before you move the machine. Do not allow riders on the machine unless the machine has an additional seat with a seat belt". b.Utilize acceptable devices such as ladders, scaffolding or aerial lifts for employees working elevations. c.Follow instructions in the Safety Manual for Users, Operators, and Maintenance Personnel for Hydraulic Excavators published by the Construction Industry Manufacturer's Association which states"Never allow any one to the ride the attachment or load. This is an extremely dangerous practice."
