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: a crushing hazard from a load that was not rigged to provide control of the load: a) MCS Industries - The employer was using a 1/2 inch alloy steel chain sling to set column's that were about twenty five (25) feet long and weighing fifteen (15) to eighteen (18) hundred pounds. The columns were rigged by choking the steel chain sling around the column about 3/4 the way up the column. If the load touches anything on the way down the choker will render the load and the column will fall on the connectors below. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to use a wire rope sling in a choker hitch.
