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 crushing injuries:
(a) Route 160 Jobsite: There were no barricades provided where a worker was
in the area of the metering gate of the "Felco" hopper while positioned
between
the hopper and the rotating structure of the "Kobelco" excavator while it
was in
operation. The counterweight of the rotating structure was inadvertently
rotated
which resulted in the worker being pinched between the hopper and rotating
structure.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is
to barricade the area in such a manner as to prevent an employee from
being struck or crushed
between the hopper and the superstructure of the excavator.
