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:
At the RENG Student Center addition located on the ASU campus, where the
operator
of the Dynalift DP463 rough terrain, high lift fork truck was observed
traveling
throughout the area with his seat belt unbuckled. This practice exposed
the operator to
the hazard of being ejected and crushed by the machine in a roll-over
accident.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct his
hazard is to require the operator to wear their belt at all times while he
is sitting in the
seat of the powered industrial truck, regardless of the length of time
that he will be in
the seat, as warned by the manufacture of the lift in a warning posted on
the
frame of
the lift.
