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 and death from inadvertently being thrown from the operator's seat of the John Deere JD-450-C Bulldozer as it was being off loaded from an Eager Beaver transport trailer on or about January 27, 1999. As the operator's manual states "The use of a seat belt with the optional John Deere canopy is recommended". One feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard would be to have the employees utilize the provided seat belt in the bulldozer. Location: In front of lot #52, Willow Road, Guilford, CT 06437
