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 and traumatic injuries associated with working adjacent to an unstable structure created by premature removal of the diagonal bracing. Milford Power Plant Facility, Milford Connecticut: The employer did not follow the erection procedures for the Heat Recovery Steam Generator Unit #1, Low Pressure. The removal of the diagonal bracing prior to the installation of the casing compromised the stability of the structure which collapsed on February 2, 2000. The collapse caused the death of two workers and seriously injured two others. One feasible method of abatement would be to follow the structural erection procedures and in the event of a deviation is necessary, proper evaluation to consider its impact on the overall stability of the structure must be done by an engineer or an individual knowledgeable in structural engineering.e
