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 following condition:
National Car Rental, 10801 Airport Blvd, Amarillo, Texas, 79111, Vehicle
Maintenance
Building:  On or about 30 May 1996, the maintenance bay doors were not
fully engaged in the
tracks allowing for the doors to fall off the tracks. This exposed
employees to the hazards and
injuries of being struck by the door falling off the tracks.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this hazard is
to assure maintenance is performed on a regular basis to assure the doors
and tracks are in
operating condition and the rollers' assemblies are adjusted for the
correct tightness within the
tracks as per manufacturer's recommendations.         p   y   y
