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 fall hazards:
On the south side of the back building, two employees stood on a
wooden platform which was placed on the midrail of the Up-Right
SL20 Lift while painting exterior trim, exposed to a fall of
approximately 18 feet to the asphalt driveway below.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method
to correct this hazard is to utilize a work platform of sufficient
height, allowing the employee to maintain a firm footing on the
platform floor as stipulated in ANSI A92.6-1990, Section 7.11.1,
American National Standard for Self-Propelled Elevating Work
Platforms and the manufacturer's instructions.
