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 the hazards of being struck by falling portions of the
hoisted load due to lack
of rated load marked on each side of the crane hoist bridge and the
inoperable latch on the hook
holding the hoisted load of the Detroit 5-Ton overhead floor operated
crane hoist located and
used in the welding area and fitting area.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method for abatement is
to ensure that the
rated load of the hoist if plainly marked on each side of the crane hoist
bridge in accordance
with Paragraph 11.1.1.1 of the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) B30.11-1973,
Monorail Systems and Underhung Cranes.  Also ensure that latch type hooks
are used unless
the use of the latch increases the hazards when hoisting loads, and that
periodic inspection of
the hook retaining nuts or collars and pins, welds or riveting used to
secure the retaining
member are performed to detect and correct deformations, in accordance
with Sections 16-
1.1.2.4.d and 16-1.2.4.d and 16-1.2.1.3.c of the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI)
B30.16-11973, Safety Standards for Cranes, Derricks, Hoists, Hooks, Jacks,
and Slings.
Disclaimers:
1.You are not limited to the abatement methods suggested above.
2.The Methods explained are general and may not be effective in all cases.
3.The employer is responsible for selecting and carrying out an
appropriate method.
