Initial $1500.00 · Current $1000.00 Reduced
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:
(a) The hazards of live electrical conductors in that, on or about October
12, 1995,
employees were operating Case 2055 Cotton Pickers too close to energized
7200 volt power
distribution lines at the Tusa farm in Highbank, Texas.  Among other
feasible and acceptable
abatement methods to correct this hazard, one feasible abatement method
would be to request
the electric utility to de-energize the powerlines before equipment is
operated near them. The
operators' manual for the 2055 Cotton Picker warns the operator to make
sure there is enough
clearance between the equipment and overhead power lines.
