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/or death:
(a) 14th Street, Altoona, PA;  On or about August 4, 1998, a Ford truck, PA
license #ZJ61723, with Leach Packmaster refuse equipment, had an obstructed
view to the rear and the back up alarm was inoperable.  In addition, a
preventative maintenance program based upon the manufacturer's
recommendations was not being conducted as evidenced by; no brake lights,
no
low beam head lamps, loose driver's side back-up mirror obscuring vision
due
to excessive vibration, a cracked side step grab bar, and a discharged fire
extinguisher.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct
this hazard is to repair all deficiencies on the vehicle and to implement a
preventative maintenance program based upon the American National Standards
Institute, ANSI Z245.1, "Safety Requirements for Mobile Refuse Collection
and
Compaction Equipment and the service manual for Leach Packmaster Refuse
Equipment.
